The FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) will dramatically change the way food manufacturers do business. Many companies have a short 12-18 months to understand and comply with the rules. Come September 2016, FDA Inspectors will start knocking on doors to assess a company’s compliance with the regulations.

This seminar will highlight all the key requirements such as Hazard Analysis, Preventive Controls, Oversight & Management of Preventive Controls and critical Compliance Deadlines which vary depending upon the size of your business.

About 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases, according to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is a significant public health burden that is largely preventable.

The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law by President Obama on Jan. 4, enables FDA to better protect public health by strengthening the food safety system. It enables FDA to focus more on preventing food safety problems rather than relying primarily on reacting to problems after they occur. The law also provides FDA with new enforcement authorities designed to achieve higher rates of compliance with prevention- and risk-based food safety standards and to better respond to and contain problems when they do occur. The law also gives FDA important new tools to hold imported foods to the same standards as domestic foods and directs FDA to build an integrated national food safety system in partnership with state and local authorities.
