On May 26, 2016 the FDA finalized the final food defense rule under the Food Safety Modernization Act. The Intentional Adulteration Rule aims to prevent wide-scale public health harm by requiring U.S. and international companies to take steps to prevent intentional adulteration of the food supply. Tyco Integrated Security, the leading security systems integrator, will host its seventh annual Food Defense Strategy Exchange at the Hilton Minneapolis Hotel to discuss this and other pertinent industry issues.
