From press release:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Food Protection Plan Progress Report, released today in conjunction with the Interagency Working Group on Import Safety Action Plan Update, shows significant areas of activity to further improve the safety of America’s food supply since unveiling its Food Protection Plan in November 2007.

The improvements highlight the agency’s efforts to address domestic and global changes in our food supply to help keep consumers enjoying one of the safest food supplies in the world.
…
The FDA Food Protection Plan focuses on prevention (building safety in from the start), intervention (using targeted risk-based inspections and testing), and response (responding rapidly when problems are identified).

The FDA has been working collaboratively across the agency and with Federal, State and local partners as well as foreign governments to execute a number of the action steps laid out by the Food Protection Plan.
