Description
AMCHAM is pleased to welcome Jiraratana Thesasilpa, Food and Drug Technical Officer, Senior Professional Level from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to speak with AMCHAM members at the Virtual Membership Meeting on October 4 at 1 pm.
In response to the pandemic, the FDA has stepped up efforts to enhance the effectiveness of the FDA application and approval process, particularly pharmaceutical, medical devices, and food products. In particular, the recently enacted Ministry of Public Health Notification No. 341 B.E. 2565 regulating foods obtained from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) has introduced additional responsibilities and requirements for food producers, importers, and exporters.
Jiraratana will provide insights on the Notification, covering its requirements in detail, the safety assessment body and its procedures, punitive measures for non-compliance, as well as impacts on food and agri-business operators.
