On January 4, 2011 President Obama signed into law the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). As part of the new regulation, FDA will provide oversight, ensure compliance with requirements and respond effectively when problems emerge. The FSMA mandates inspection frequency based on risk for food facilities, and requires the frequency of inspections to increase immediately. The law directs FDA to inspect at least 600 foreign food facilities within one year of enactment, and double those inspections every year for the next five years. Odds are, that will in turn lead to the issuance of a great deal of additional Form 483s to companies that have never before seen one, let alone had to respond to one.
This audio conference presentation provides detail on the FDA's plans for increased facility inspections, and looks at the most likely areas of scrutiny for inspectors in the coming months. Our speaker shares insight on the steps you can take to ensure a successful inspection, and, in the event your company receives a Form 483, how best to respond so as to avoid a re-inspection.

is being presented by Benjamin L England, Founder and CEO, of FDAImports.com and airs on Wednesday, February 15th, 2012. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
Since its introduction, the Food Safety Modernization Act has been discussed, written about and portrayed ad infinitum, often out of any sensible context to the actual realities of importing and manufacturing. Hyperbole aside, what does it really mean for you and your company?
With this timely audio conference presentation, former FDA veteran Benjamin England brings a much-needed reality check to the FSMA conversation. The presentation looks at what FSMA implementation this year will likely consist of, and what specific issues are likely to arise based on these new rules in a real-world context. For manufacturers, companies and distributors this means valuable insight into which changes should be of concern, what can safely be ignored, what they can expect in the coming months, and how best to prepare. Mr. England devotes special attention to the implementation dates for 2012, and provides attendees with an opportunity to ask questions specific to their situation.

The safety and security of the food supply has come under intense scrutiny in the wake of 9/11. In the intervening years "food defense" has become an industry catchphrase. But what exactly does it mean? What do regulators want to see?
This audio conference presentation reviews the use of physical security practices in the food industry since the events of September 11, 2001 and the advent of the term “food defense”. Our speaker discusses current food defense expectations from both the USDA and FDA, and takes a look at some possible regulatory developments associated with the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010.
The presentation provides key information on the use of threat assessments, vulnerability assessments and risk assessments, as well as the use of a “goal based” security model in the development of security and food defense plans for food manufacturing facilities. Attendees also learn about supply chain responsibilities, and ways to utilize national and international supply chain programs such as C-TPAT, AEO and PIP to enhance food defense measures.
