About the Courses:
Regulatory Affairs - Food Safety & Modernization Act (FSMA) Overiew
In December 2010 the US Senate passed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This new law affects the entire food supply chain from farm to dinner table. It allows the FDA/USDA to create system based prevention and will use 21st century food safety systems. These systems will make everyone in the global food chain responsible for and accountable for the safety of the food supply chain
This 4-hour session is focused on reviewing the impact of the new FSMA law & how it will affect regulatory affairs. In the US, the FDA & the USDA are the regulatory agencies that inspect food handling facilities including warehousing, manufacturing & packaging. They have the authority to inspect companies that engage in interstate commerce as well as companies that export to the US. They are authorized to inspect equipment, materials, vehicles, containers and specific records. Regulatory inspections are a legal activity. Plant personnel must understand the government’s authority and implications of their behavior during & after an inspection. Discussion on the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, Food Defense Programs and Maintaining Site security for grounds and buildings is part of an effective program will also be highlighted.
