Executive summary
Current state
FDA faces a critical capacity gap where 432 investigators at 90% capacity cannot meet FSMA mandates for 19,200+ annual foreign inspections plus domestic cycles, while simultaneously failing to implement a performance management system recommended by GAO since 2015 with a July 2026 deadline approaching.
Market catalyst
FDA posts inspection reports with investigator names publicly but doesn't aggregate enforcement patterns - creating an intelligence gap where food facilities need to understand specific investigators' enforcement tendencies to prepare for inspections effectively.
