March’s FSMA Fridays, part of the ongoing monthly series featuring Dr. David Acheson and The Acheson Group team, is taking place on Friday March 25
SafetyChain Software, leaders in food safety and quality management solutions that automate, streamline and improve food safety and quality programs at all points along a company’s supply chain, is pleased to announce the topic for its March FSMA Fridays session: Supply Chain Controls – How Preventive Controls for Human Food and FSVP Fit Together.
SafetyChain’s popular FSMA Fridays series examines the impact FSMA rules will have on food safety and quality operations; and provides guidance on how to prepare for FSMA compliance. During the March session, taking place Friday March 25, The Acheson Group will explore further how supply chain controls and how preventive controls for human food and foreign supplier verification program fit together, including:
- Why supply chain controls matter
- How FSMA has evolved with regard to supply chain regulatory requirements
- What the Preventive Control for Human Food Rule requires
- What Foreign Supplier Verification Program requires
- Which companies have to comply with which rule
As always, the Acheson Group team will be taking audience questions live.
In addition, new topics and dates for 2016 FSMA Fridays session have been announced:
April 29: Final Rules – Sanitary Transportation
May 20: Food Safety Plan Building – HACCP to HARPC
June 24: Final Rule for Food Defense
July 29: Environmental Control Programs
“Our continued goal with FSMA Fridays is to provide an informative and interactive forum for those companies effected by the Food Safety and Modernization Act.” commented Jill Bender, VP Marketing for SafetyChain Software. “Based on the recent ‘FSMA Readiness and Compliance Strategy’ survey sponsored by SafetyChain Software and The Acheson Group, while it was evident companies are putting strategies and plans into place to ensure FSMA compliance, there were areas of the FDA FSMA rules that companies are still trying to understand the direct impact to their respective organizations. Thus we are excited to have adjusted our upcoming line-up of FSMA Fridays sessions to provide further input and guidance around those gaps identified in the survey.”
