Take Home Messages
• The PFP plays a collaborative role in building an IFSS.
• We need to identify the most significant IFSS gaps and “fund the
gaps”.
• PFP & FSMA have the same goal; to build an IFSS.
• FSMA work has been aligned/merged with the dynamic PFP
Workgroups.
• Integration will not happen overnight, but working in partnership,
we are making strides towards having an IFSS become a reality.

Bringing Together the Regulatory Community
• Operationalizing mutual needs to make the
regulatory community “Partners” programs
stronger and more efficient with minimal
duplication of efforts.
• Utilization of the Joint Work Planning
document from the PFP work group.
• Developing mechanisms to engage other
stakeholders in the process by:
– Bringing their ideas to the table for
future work;
– Inclusion of overall continuous
improvement toward a fully integrated
food safety system.
26
Accomplishments of 2010-2012 PFP WGs
• Compliance/enforcement coordination pilot.
• Developed local work planning process to reduce redundant
inspections/leverage resources.
• Developed Business Process Evaluation Tool to evaluate IT
gaps/needs relative to Inspection Systems.
• Developed the “National Standards for Food/Feed Testing
Laboratories”.
• Developed recommendation for a process to review/update
MFRPS.
