---  the original post follows below  ---

The FDA announced the launch of a new risk-assessment tool to ensure the safety of imported food and drugs. The web-based PREDICT system will rank the risk hazards of food and drugs as they enter the country and allow inspectors to focus on the most likely threats to public health.

PREDICT uses a scoring system that determines the risk level of the imported products. Under the new system, shipments would be flagged for additional screening on a score that is based on their country of origin, manufacturers' safety records and their contents. The program is scheduled to first be implemented in New York.
