Can you handle the recent FSMA curveballs?
The FDA made a big splash when it issued a set of “re-proposed” food safety regulations under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including regulations for Current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventative Controls (HARPC) for Human Food.
Two of the significant issues that the FDA is addressing are how product testing and supplier verification fit into FSMA’s requirement for food companies to verify that their preventative controls effectively and significantly minimize hazards at their facilities.
This webinar will provide an overview of FDA’s comments on these two topics and insight about the legal issues they may raise for food companies.
Further, the webinar will explore how the FDA expects you to implement FSMA, and what the FDA expects for firms to show they are in compliance.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

in a batch of API
106. The data used was basically was reintegrated multiple
chromatogram to determine levels
Investigation concluded the reason of impurity for unpleasant odor
in March 2014
Subsequently in Aug 2012, a similar complaint along failure of
batch for max. unknown impurity reported
107. Commercial batches within expiry are under question
Controls implemented to prevent recurrence were not there
Scientific justification for setting of specifications was not specified
Parameters for re-integration of chromatogram were not retained
108. Subsequent OOS investigation concluded the carryover of impurity from a
raw material used in API manufacturing process
Investigation did not address the
failure of quality unit to
recognize this impurity prior to
release
No one came to evaluate
during the review
109. Where is adequate assurance of appropriate control to mitigate
recurrence of contamination?
Subsequent to complaint, your investigation identified the unknown
peak and found that it was a result of contamination occurred during
manufacturing process
110. Where is assessment of contamination risk for batches within expiry?
Where is corrective action resulting from the assessment?
Where is assessment of cross-contamination risk associated with
current practice of material/ solvent flow?
111. Explain unauthorized

117. Tips & TricksHow to Audit
11th APIC/CEFIC European Conference on APIs
130. Take API samples and have them analytically fingerprinted vs. an
original sample from the company and/or compare with registered
API quality in dossier or DMF
Howtoaudit???
131. Obtain a list of shipped batches, dates and clients and later cross-
check these during audits of clients’ sites
Howtoaudit???
133. Check for discrepancies between volumes of API purchased from
companies vs. volumes sold under the labels of those companies
Check for traces of activities of replacing original labels by
different labels (e.g. equipment to remove labels: e.g. a burner)
Howtoaudit???
134. Check for the presence of API in warehouses with labels from
producers not included in official documentation
Scrutinize entire labels production, management and
reconciliation system for irregularities
Take API samples for analytical fingerprinting as above
Howtoaudit???
136. Same points as for Exporting API trader
Check information on the origin of the API material at
customs vs. data on file at the importing trader
Howtoaudit???
138. Howtoaudit???
Check for fraudulent actions with documentation aimed at hiding
the true origin of the material
Check the purchasing records on sourced APIs from specific
companies vs. the volumes of API from these specific companies
actually used in production of the dosage forms
139. Check if API with labels from producers not included in official
documentation is present in warehouses
Take API samples for analytical fingerprinting vs. authentic
samples of the approved API supplier and check fingerprint vs.
registered API quality
Howtoaudit???
140. Compare information obtained from the approved API supplier on
the API volume sold annually to the inspected dosage form
manufacturer and compare vs. volume used annually in
production of the dosage forms
Verify also that batch numbers and dates match those of the ones
obtained from the API manufacturer
Howtoaudit???

147. What is an Impurity and what it can be?
Impurities are unwanted
chemicals present in the
API or FPP arising from
normal manufacture.
They are not chemicals
accidently or
maliciously introduced.
Impurities have no
therapeutic value and
are potentially harmful.
Therefore they need to
be controlled.
149. Organic Impurities
May arise during manufacturing process and storage
Starting materials
By products
Intermediates
Degradation products
Reagents, ligands and catalysts
150. May be from manufacturing process and are normally known and
identified:
In Organic Impurities
Reagents, ligands and catalysts
Heavy metals
Inorganic salts
other materials (e.g. filter aids, charcoal)
151. Limits to be based on pharmacopoeial standards or known
safety data
Toxicity generally known, therefore controls achievable
Organic or inorganic liquids used during the manufacturing
process
Residual Solvents
152. Progress but do not pursue profit at the
expense of consumer safety. It will not
favor every time
Closing Message
153. Your product is your child. Please take care because
some time damages of uncertainty are irreversible
