Produce Group Hosts FSMA Webinars, Explains Foreign Supplier Verification
The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) is offering new resources to help the global fresh produce industry understand the U.S. government's latest proposed rules to implement the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Resources include English and Spanish summaries of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA} proposed rule for Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) and Accreditation of Third-Party Auditors, plus bilingual, produce-specific webinars explaining the proposed rule.
The FSVP proposed rule summaries are tailored for the global fresh produce industry, as the proposed rule would extend U.S. food safety standards to imported foods. English and Spanish summaries of the Accreditation of Third-Party Auditors proposed rule will follow soon.
