      abstract = {The 2011 US Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)  represents a major initiative to improve food safety. The  legislation mandates the US Food and Drug Administration  (FDA) with developing a regulatory system to implement the  Act. Both domestic and foreign firms that wish to supply US  consumers with food will face a considerable increase in  regulatory costs. Implementation has proved challenging for  the FDA leading to delays which increase investment risks  for foreign suppliers, particulalry from developing  countries. This paper sets out the major FSMA requirements  and examines how the regulatory burden may fall on foreign  versus US suppliers.},
