New product development teams must ensure their activities are aligned with the requirements of FSMA.
The key to a successful research and development program is creativity, food science, food safety and regulatory compliance.
Creativity is essential in identifying the next product or improving an existing product. Food science provides the knowledge necessary to turn creative ideas into reality. Food safety must always be a significant component in product development. And, regulatory compliance ensures that no matter how new or unique a food may be, it must be safe and in compliance with regulations.
