Registration is complimentary at https://safetychain.flywheelstaging.com/resources/fsma-fridays/. The popular monthly series, which now has more than 2,000 ongoing registrants, features FSMA icon Dr. David Acheson and The Acheson Group’s food safety team, who address pre-submitted, and live questions from the audience, on a schedule of topics related to FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
FSMA is the most broad-sweeping food safety legislation proposed by FDA in years – and both the food industry and consumer communities are watching closely. FSMA Fridays is believed to be the largest online, interactive forum for staying up-to-date on FSMA rules, impact on the food and beverage industry and what companies need to do in order to prepare for compliance. To that end, the September 26 and October 31 FSMA Fridays will focus on the second round of revisions to several of the major FSMA rules beginning in September with the Preventive Controls for Human Food round two revisions which were released on Friday, September 19.
The September 26 topics include:
- The removal of the term “reasonably likely to occur” hazards
- Further definition of situations where environmental testing will be required
- The role of finished product testing in verification of food safety plans
- Requirements and responsibilities for controlling suppliers along a company’s supply chain
As always, the Acheson Group team will also answer questions from participants
