As the regulatory requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) continue to roll-out, food safety and compliance with the new rules remains top of mind for food processors. Putting process control in place to enhance food safety but also improve food quality has become critical.
FSMA was signed into law in 2011 in response to high-profile outbreaks of foodborne illness. As of June 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mostly finalized FSMA regulations and begun their implementation and enforcement.
