1. SMA Update - Overview Three Sweeping Rules: Foreign Supplier Verification
Program Rule, Third Party Auditor Accreditation Rule, Preventive Controls Rule
and GMPs for Animal Food/Feed Rule
This webinar will cover the basic mechanics of new rules under the Food Safety Modernization
Act (FSMA); Foreign Supplier Verification Program rule, Third Party Auditor Accreditation rule,
Preventive Controls rule and GMPs for Animal Food/Feed rule.
Why Should you Attend:
The proposed Foreign Supplier Verification (FSVP) rule will place a new burden on importers importers will be responsible for identifying hazards and conducting various verification
activities to ensure hazards are effectively controlled. The accreditation rule and FSVP work
closely together. Only inspections completed by third-party auditors accredited under the new
accreditation rule will be recognized by customs agents. The preventative controls rule for
animal feed will impose the first serious regulation of the industry. The rule mandates Good
Manufacturing Practices for the first time along with new preventive controls provisions.
This webinar will help importers and foreign suppliers of food and dietary supplements to
understand the new rules and how to comply to import products once the rule goes into effect.
The preventive control provisions are unique and unlike anything in HACCP or the preventive
control rule for human food.
