Why Should Attend

FDA implemented the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including the hazard analysis and risk-based preventive in 2016 to help the industry manage potential hazards in producing safe food products. FSMA places primary responsibility on the owners and operators of food facilities to identify and control hazard risks, and intentionally grants facilities considerable flexibility in designing and implementing their food safety plans. In light of these new regulations, FDA introduced an enhanced audit approach to ensure food processors have adequately eliminated these potential risks in their food facilities. This course will examine new FDA authority, introduces examples of Preventative Controls, leading into minimal recommended preparation steps for handling the new FDA FSMA requirements, including managing Form #483 for non-compliances.
