Course Overview
Provides participants with an understanding of the new role that U.S. Congress has defined for food importers under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA). The most important regulation for U.S. food importers is the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs regulation (FSVP rule) that FDA published on November 27, 2015. We will focus on explaining the requirements of the FSVP rule, and how you, as Canadian suppliers, can assist your customers or U.S. consignee in complying with the requirements. Attendees will receive a certificate from the FSPCA upon completion of the training (the certificate fee is included in the course tuition).
