Webinar Presentation Slides On-Demand Webinar Recording
If you import coffee, May 30, 2017 may be a critical deadline under the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA).
On that date, you need to have verification from your larger suppliers that they’ve analyzed potential food safety hazards and put preventive controls in place where necessary – a rule called the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). Foreign suppliers with more than 500 full-time employees had to complete these analyses by last September and had have seven eight months to submit their plan to their customers.
As part of your Foreign Supplier Verification Program, you’ll need to verify your supplier’s Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls, or “HARPC” plan. Importers who have not verified their supplier’s HARPC plan by the appropriate deadline can have their shipments held up in port by the FDA.
Bracey Parr of Registrar Corp. will detail the requirements and potential penalties as this deadline faces your business.
