    New FDA Program Will Benefit Both Importers and Consumers

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is establishing a voluntary, fee-based program for the expedited review and importation of foods into the United States from importers with a proven food safety track record. The FDA is publishing a draft guidance for industry to explain how this new program will work.

    The Voluntary Qualified Importer Program （VQIP） will benefit both industry and consumers.

    .Importers with a robust system of supply-chain management will receive expedited entry for imported foods that are in the program.

    .Consumer protections are strengthened by enabling the FDA to focus its resources on food imports that are more likely to present a potential risk to public health.
