Why Should You Attend:-

FDA implemented the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including the hazard analysis and risk-based preventive in 2016 to help the industry manage potential hazards in producing safe food products. Along the way, implementation has taken a few twists and turns, including side-tracking with a pandemic.

So, what have we learned along the way and where is the FDA now focused on Food Safety improvements? FSMA places primary responsibility on the owners and operators of food facilities to identify and control hazard risks, and intentionally grants facilities considerable flexibility in designing and implementing their food safety plans. However, not all the industry has stepped up to mitigate risks effectively.

Key FSMA takeaway points are covered, with a requirements overview explained with the minimal recommendations for successful FSMA compliance. Key Essentials to examine your playbook, the Food Safety Plan (HARPC) are teased out in detail.

Also covered will be tools, legal implications, and best practices for industry professionals.
