FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the most sweeping reform of our food safety laws in more than 70 years, was signed into law
by President Obama on January 4, 2011. It aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to
preventing it.
Pronounced: “Fiz-Mah”
It aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from
responding to contamination to preventing it.

FSMA PMMI Perspective
“Most respondents believe that food processing machinery will be
significantly impacted by the passing of the Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA) in early 2011.
Although regulations implementing the law are not yet final, this legislation
means that regulatory bodies are shifting their role from one of responding
to food safety problems to preventing food safety problems. From the food
processor’s perspective, this can mean an infrequent two-hour visual
inspection changing into teams of inspectors assessing whether a plant is
microbiologically clean.
Most food processors and equipment suppliers are just now realizing the
litany of food contamination dangers that current machinery designs hold.
Because of this, respondents believe that many standard machines will
need significant redesigns to adhere to food safety standards”

FSMA – OEM perspective
Quote during VOC interview
“I believe that when the FDA finalizes its
regulations that a few major food producers will be
inspected, targeted, and penalized. Production will
be shut down, fines levied, and publicity generated
– then we will see a significant shift in attention to
wash-down activities. We see our motor/gearbox
business going from 70% painted, 30% stainless
steel to 30% painted, 70% stainless steel”

First “6” indicates:
• “No ingress of dust; complete
protection against contact (dustight)”
IP66 – Water Spray 14.5 PSI from 3m
IP66K – Water Spray 145 PSI from 3m
IP67 - Immersion of device to 1 m

Food Packaging/Processing Market Needs
10 Sanitation Principles for Equipment Suppliers to consider
Product must be easily cleanable (sealing, smooth surfaces).
Must use compatible materials (stainless steel).
Must be accessible for Inspection.
No liquid collection (shape, design).
Hollow areas eliminated or sealed.
No niches (pits, cracks, gaps).
Sanitary operational performance.
Validating cleaning and sanitizing protocols.
Separate processes whenever possible.
Meet hygiene and sanitation requirements.
41. 41
Change is coming…
A growing concern over cross contamination, salmonella and other hygienic problems have
driven stricter guidelines. What was once acceptable in this market no longer is in many
cases.
Material Selection: In the past painted or nickel plated solutions were commonly
used. Now stainless steel has become a must.
IP Protection: More applications are driving to an IP66, IP67 or IP69K requirement
rather than the typical IP65.
Shape: Square housings with corners and chamfers are no longer acceptable and
round housings with smooth surfaces are specified.
Lubrication: FDA approved grease is critical.
Cleanable: Labels, tags or any difficult to clean accessories are restricted.

plating parts by the customer. Also, painted components tend to chip or
peel.
48. 48
Differentiator: External Housing Features
Micron Feature – Completely round exterior, single piece output
housing.
Micron Advantage – No corners or chamfers. No seems or areas of
ingress.
Customer Benefit – Easily washed down, no areas for bacteria to
collect. No areas for liquid to penetrate the gearhead and damage the
