Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

June 24, 2011 by Kelly Sly|Top News

The Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Inspector General has issued a report on FDA’s monitoring of imported food recalls. The report finds that FDA's guidance for developing and implementing food recalls is inadequate to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply, because it is not enforceable. In addition, FDA does not always follow its own procedures for ensuring that the recall process operated efficiently and effectively. The report recommends that FDA consider these weaknesses in implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
