As FDA continues to reshape their oversight of the cosmetics industry, 2026 is shaping up to be a year with significant opportunity to enable industry\u2019s compliance. \u00a0Remember, FDA already has inspection and recall authority so there is no time like the present to ensure sanitation, quality and product safety controls are working as intended, teams are trained on your GMP policies, and corrective action procedures up to and including recall programs are established and ready to be used should the need arise. Early readiness is key to success. FDA\u2019s recently released recall guidance document and industry best practices both provide frameworks and tips to enable you to lead your teams to successful and proactive approaches for MoCRA compliance in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can RQA help?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trainings<\/li>\n<li>Inspections\/Gap Analysis<\/li>\n<li>Program development for recall and GMPs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See FDA\u2019s Recall Guidance:<br \/>\n<a class=\"link-blue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/regulatory-information\/search-fda-guidance-documents\/questions-and-answers-regarding-mandatory-cosmetics-recalls-guidance-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.fda.gov\/regulatory-information\/search-fda-guidance-documents\/questions-and-answers-regarding-mandatory-cosmetics-recalls-guidance-industry<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"margin-top: 1px;\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"margin-bottom: 1px;\"><strong>Melanie J.
