Popular FSMA Fridays featuring Dr. David Acheson and The Acheson Group team now taking place Tuesday December 22
SafetyChain Software, leaders in Food Safety Chain Management Systems that Automate, Streamline & Improve Food Safety and Quality Assurance™ (FSQA), is pleased to announce the topic for its December FSMA Fridays session, now on Tuesday December 22: What to Expect In 2016 + Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) and 3rdParty Auditor Rules.
SafetyChain’s FSMA Fridays is an online, interactive forum that helps the food and beverage industry stay up-to-date on FDA’s Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA); examines the impact FSMA rules will have on food safety and quality operations; and provides guidance on how to prepare for FSMA compliance. It is estimated that more than 80 percent of food and beverage companies will have to comply with FSMA.
This popular monthly series with more than 2,000 ongoing registrants features FSMA icon Dr. David Acheson and The Acheson Group’s (TAG) food safety team, who address pre-submitted and live questions from the audience, on a schedule of FSMA related topics.
The December session, taking place Tuesday December 22, will focus on what to expect in 2016 + FSVP and 3rd party auditor rules. The Acheson Group team will share insights on:
- How FSVP is different from supply chain controls in the PC rule
- How FDA is defining an “importer”
- Understanding the responsibility of the importer to comply with FSVP
- The purpose of the 3rd party auditor rule
- The requirements of third party auditors for reporting findings
- Accreditation for third party auditors
- Who does the accreditation
- What to expect for FSMA in 2016
As always, the Acheson Group team will be taking audience questions live.
New topics and dates for 2016 FSMA Fridays session will be announced soon.
