CFSAN : (1984 )CENTER FOR FOOD SAFETY AND APPLIED NUTRITION

Thursday, April 13, 2023

The CENTRE FOR FOOD SAFETY AND APPLIED NUTRITION (CFSAN, pronounced sif'-san) is the branch of the United States FOOD & DRUGADMINISTRATION(FDA) that regulates food, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.

The FDA's mission to be the shield of consumers against dangerous and harmful Food, Drug or Cosmetic products.

Before any product that classifies as a food/drug/cosmetic enters our markets, the FDA tests it to make sure it's not "harmful" to consumers.


HISTORY


RESPONSIBILITIES

Monitor substances added to food (ionizing radiation, color additives) for safety.

Assure no harmful products result through processes of bioengineered foods (allergens, nutrients rejected for uptake by the body, toxicants).

Regulate the proper labeling of food and cosmetics (ingredients, nutrition health claims) and their ingredients.

Regulate policies governing the safety of dietary supplements, infant formulas, and medical foods.

Consumer education and industry outreach.

COSMETICS

Regulatory and research programs to address possible health risks associated with chemical or biological contaminants.

Regulations, policy, and other activities dealing with proper labelling of cosmetics.

Food allergens (e.g., milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soybeans, wheat, fish, shellfish)

product tampering.


DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

Dietary supplements are products intended for ingestion, are not represented for use as a conventional food or as, a sole item of a meal or the diet and are labelled as dietary supplements.

DIETARY INGREDIENTS:VitaminsMineralsAmino acidsHerbs & other botanical….

While dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval by FDA, the agency enforces rules regarding their labelling/promotional statements and can take action to remove those that are known to pose a risk to public health


TOOLS FOR PROTECTING THE FOOD AND COSMETIC SUPPLIES

Collection and analysis of samples.Monitoring of imports.Monitoring of adverse event reports and consumer complaints.

Determine health effects of food and cosmetic contaminants.

Determine skin penetration of cosmetic ingredients and contaminants.


CFSAN also works with international organizations (World Health Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Codex Alimentarius Commission, International Cooperation on Cosmetic Regulation)

COLLABORATION WITH ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY

1.The National Centre for Food Safety and Technology (NCFST)

2.Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN)

3.National Centre for Natural Products Research (NCNPR)

4.Western Centre for Food Safety (WCFS)


CONCLUSION

Although the food supply in the U.S. is considered the safest in the world, there is always room for improvement—hence the task of this organization.

A major program established in January 2001 is the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), which was originally created to monitor fruit and vegetable juice production.

Purpose of HACCP is to provide preventive controls at the most contamination-prone points in the production process.
