WASHINGTON—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched PREDICT, a Web-based risk-assessment tool that will ensure the safety of imported food and drugs by ranking 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 will replace the admissibility screening function of OASIS, FDA's legacy system. The new system will assist entry reviewers in targeting higher-risk shipments for examination, and also expedite the clearance of lower-risk cargo if accurate and complete data are provided by importers and entry filers.
