The US Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)

Il Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) sta ridefinendo la catena di fornitura alimentare negli Stati Uniti spostando l’attenzione sul tema della sicurezza alimentare da un approccio reattivo ad uno preventivo. Il FSMA si basa su 7 principi fondamentali, gli stabilimenti produttivi presenti nel territorio degli Stati Uniti e al di fuori devono comprendere le regole del FSMA e adeguarsi alle norme applicabili nel loro caso.
Una delle norme principali del FSMA è il Preventive Controls for Human Food la quale impone nuovi requisiti per gli stabilimenti non US. Inoltre ci sono due ulteriori regole che coinvolgono le aziende alimentari non presenti sul suolo US che sono l’Intentional Adulteration Rule e il Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP).
Il seminario che sarà tenuto da Hank Karayan, approfondirà le tre norme FSMA che hanno un impatto sulle aziende alimentari

• Preventive Controls for Human Food
• Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP)
• The Intentional Adulteration Rule 

Nello specifico verranno affrontati i seguenti temi:

• Review of the requirements of the three FSMA rules
• Implications of FSMA rules on Italian suppliers of food and food ingredients to the US market
• Compliance strategies and lessons learned
• Compliance timelines associated with each rule
• FSMA certification for foreign suppliers

L’incontro di approfondimento darà l’opportunità ai partecipanti di avere maggiori informazioni sul FSMA, al termine dell’incontro è prevista una sessione di Q&A.
