The bill changes the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to broaden a program that lets qualified third‑party auditors certify food producers and facilities. It lets those certifications be used for imported foods, for a voluntary qualified importer program, and for the agency’s risk‑based inspection planning. The changes affect any domestic or foreign food business that chooses to be audited by an accredited third‑party auditor.
