Enhancing Food Safety: The Role of the Food and Drug Administration

15 percent of the agency’s total research budget) in base research funding for CFSAN and ORA, reflecting an increase of $2,862,000 over the previous FY(Musser, 2009). An additional $1,683,000 was budgeted for food protection research at NCTR for 2009. For FY 2010, center-specific resource allocations for research are summarized in Table 6-1. Overall, the agency’s food safety research initiatives can be categorized as follows: (1) development of rapid detection methods, (2) development of confirmatory methods, (3) biotechnology, (4) virology, (5) in vitro testing, and (6) laboratory enhancement (Musser, 2009).

This chapter provides a summary of the research currently conducted under the FDA’s food programs and considers how these research efforts do or do not mesh with the risk-based approach described in Chapter 3.
