The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is supported by seven (7) key proposed regulations. In late September 2014, FDA issued four (4) “Supplementals” which amend or add to the seven (7) proposed regulations. A number of these amendments or additions are game changers for the food ingredient supplier, food processors and food importers. The details of these changes will be explained in the context of the impact on current industry best practices with identification of “game changers” that need comments submitted by the industry (due December 15, 2014) to assist FDA in understanding industry realities. This workshop will share information obtained from many sources including the FDA. The purpose of the workshop is to increase awareness within the US Food Processing industry regarding what may likely be the benchmarks that FDA will inspect/investigate against once these seven (7) regulations including the “Supplementals” become final in late 2015 through mid-2016. This workshop, presented by CFSRS Managing Partner Allen R. Sayler, will focus on the "Preventive Controls for Human and Animal Foods" (PC), “Safe Transport of Food & Food Ingredients”, “Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP), Third Party Certification Program (TPCP) and Intentional Contamination (IC) regulations as well as a brief overview of traceability in the context of supplier management.
