The story of 𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤-𝐨’-𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬

In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region of North America, he reported finding “gros melons.” The name was translated into English as “pompions,” which has since evolved into the modern “pumpkin.”

Carving pumpkins into 𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤-𝐨’-𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬 is a popular Halloween tradition that originated hundreds of years ago in Ireland. Back then, however, jack-o’-lanterns were made out of turnips or potatoes; it wasn’t until Irish immigrants arrived in America and discovered the pumpkin that a new Halloween ritual was born. Now pumpkins are commonly placed on stoops in the falls months, and get carved ahead of Halloween night.

The world is changing rapidly with New Food Production Methods, Digitized Food Systems and Reformulated Foods and so many emerging technologies, with the belief of experiencing more changes in the food systems over the next 10 years than we have over the past several decades. But, while all these enhancements, still the rates of food-borne illnesses have not changed significantly. Also, the global pandemics like COVID 19, obviously have formed unprecedented imbalances in the marketplace, changing consumer behaviors and rising e-commerce and challenges in performing inspection and compliance works. With all these reasons, a need for a modernized food safety regulatory framework has been raised and therefore FDA has introduced these Blueprint Outlines for smarter food safety, with the intention of leveraging the use of new and emerging technologies and approaches to bend the curve of food borne illness.

In this FDA’s Blueprint Outlines, there are 04 main core elements; Tech-Enabled Traceability, Smarter Tools and Approaches for Prevention and Outbreak Response, New Business Models and Retail Modernization, Food Safety Culture

🔵 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵-𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆

End-to-end advanced traceability techniques are introduced to protect consumers from contaminated foods, by Rapid tracebacks, Identifying specific sources and Removing products from the marketplace as quickly as possible when necessary. This will allow stakeholders in the supply chain to adopt and leverage digitally-enabled technologies, enable data sharing, and introduce approaches that greatly reduce the time it takes to identify the origin of a contaminated food tied to a recall and / or outbreak and ultimately, to harmonize tracing activities.
There are 03 main sub goals of Tech-Enabled Traceability approach.

01. Develop Foundational Components
02. Encourage and Incentivize Industry Adoption of New Technologies
03. Leveraging the Digital Transformation

🔵 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲

Here, the main focus is to enhance and strengthen the root cause analyses and predictive analyses as a step in helping stakeholders in the food chain to identify and avoid possible risks before the consumption. Developing smart tools to identify possible risks and causes immediately and faster than modern food safety approaches, will be a great step ahead to protect consumers from food-borne illnesses.
There are 06 main tools and approaches that are proposed to develop for inspections, outbreak responses and recall modernization.

01. Invigorate Root Cause Analyses
02. Strengthen Predictive Analytics Capabilities
03. Domestic Mutual Reliance
04. Inspection, Training, and Compliance Tools
05. Outbreak Response
06. Recall Modernization

The evolution of the transfer of foods from farm to table has been widely developed and today it continues with the emergence of e-commerce and new food delivery methods. Therefore, with the technical and societal enhancements, new business models have been established which have been rather modernized from traditional business models. In that respect, there are 02 main approaches that have been proposed to explore the best ways to further modernize and help to ensure the safety of foods that are exchanged at different business models and retails.

01. Ensure Safety of Food Produced or Delivered Using New Business Models
02. Modernize Traditional Retail Food Safety Approaches

🔵 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

We all have different food safety cultures, food habits, food facilities and consumer behaviors in different households and in public. So, it is a must, to consider those food safety cultures, while establishing an effective food safety management. Here, this presents 03 main aspects that are considered in promoting food safety cultures.

01. Promote Food Safety Culture Throughout the Food System
02. Further Promote Food Safety Culture Throughout the Agency
03. Develop and Promote a Smarter Food Safety Consumer Education Campaign

The challenges that have arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the need for actions called for in the blueprint, especially in times of crisis. So this pandemic has underscored the need for modern approaches to ensure the food supply remains safe and strong, now more than ever. But, the FDA can not embark on this alone and all the citizens including industries and all stakeholders should get together to make it a success.

This approach will take over the next decade to usher in the New Era of Smarter Food Safety.
