美国GAO：FDA可改善进口食品风险评估工具

　　食品伙伴网讯    据美国食品安全新闻网消息，近期美国政府责任署发布分析报告称，一种计算机工具可帮助FDA评估进口食品风险。
 

　　该种工具名为“PREDICT”，利用公开资源与其他数据来鉴别可能存在安全风险的食品货物，保证进口食品受到严格的检查。美国FDA在推出“PREDICT”系统时称，它可帮助检查人员找出高风险货物。只要进口商与报关员提交完整、精确数据，低风险进口食品的通关速度可大大加快。

　　A computerized tool used by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to assess the safety risk of food imported into the United States could be more effective, according to a recent analysis from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

　　The tool is known as PREDICT and uses open source and other data to identify food shipments that might pose a greater safety risk and ensure that they receive greater scrutiny.

It also expedites the clearance of lower-risk cargo, but only if accurate and complete data are provided by importers and entry filers.”
