Anyone involved in the food industry has heard about the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Enacted in January 2011, the FSMA makes sweeping changes to the way food products are manufactured, distributed and regulated.
Although the FSMA imposes many new requirements on the food industry, the one that will likely have the greatest impact is the requirement that, prior to June 2012, food companies adopt and implement written food safety plans. In regulatory and legal terms, this means that regulated food companies will be required to develop and then closely follow a hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) methodology. Thus, whether you import, process or distribute food products, the new legislation can and will substantially impact the nature of your business.
This audio conference provides attendees with an overview of the new FDA requirements, along with how and when FDA will likely begin enforcing them, and how best to prepare your business for the coming changes.
