FSMA webinar on the final rules on the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods for all carrier personnel in food transportation

1. What the FDA FSMA Transportation Rules Mean for U.S. Food
Importers and Foreign Suppliers
Key Take Away
This FSMA webinar is intended for all transportation operations personnel involved in the transportation of human and
animal foods into the U.S. and from foreign food suppliers. It will cover the basic rules, the impact of cross and contact
contamination, allergen controls, hazards, theft, food fraud, mandatory training, security, spills, accidents and preventive
concepts.
Overview
Over 84,000 food shippers, carriers and receivers are impacted by this new FDA FSMA sanitary transportation training
and foreign food exporters and U.S. food importers have less than six months for full compliance. This new food safety
training law requires significant changes to procedures currently established for foreign food export transportation
operations, personnel, vehicles, containers, trailers tools and equipment used in food transportation.
Under the HACCP & Food Safety online training rules, the U.S. receiver now assumes the responsibilities of the shipper
and must assure that foreign food exporters and carriers comply with FSMA transportation food safety laws. The rules
cover all food moving on U.S. roads or by rail “food not completely enclosed by a container” or foods requiring
temperature controls that travel by U.S. road or rail.
The final rules are now law and have significant differences from earlier published proposed food transportation rules,
laws and guidance documents. Self-reporting of compliance failures is required as are critical shipper-carrier
agreements for data, records and reporting.
The new law was published on April 6, 2016, which mean there is little time left for perishable food shipper and carrier
operations to develop and implement risk reducing preventive food handling, load and un-load operations and to make
carrier, distribution and transportation process improvements.
Why Should You Attend
Importers of perishable food products and their shippers and carriers must comply with these new rules.
If your company imports food from foreign suppliers, you must protect your company by assuring that foreign loaders,
shippers and carriers comply with FDA FSMA Rules on the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods.
Once the shipping container hits a U.S. port and is loaded on a truck, all U.S. laws apply to the shipment regardless of
the sea and air exemptions.
