Nov 16, 2023
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) Online Submission Module (COSM) to improve communication for industry who send regulatory submissions to FDA’s Office of Food Additive Safety (OFAS). The update to COSM introduces three new features:
- Users can submit documents directly to the OFAS via COSM, eliminating the need to use the FDA’s Electronic Submission Gateway (ESG)
- COSM allows for secure communication between the FDA and users for submissions and amendments to submissions created in COSM
- Dynamic user dashboard displays the status of the submissions.
