FDA Releases Agenda for Oct. 22 Public Meeting on FSMA's FSVP
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yesterday affirmed that its public meeting on proposed rules on Foreign Supplier Verification Programs and the Accreditation of Third Party Auditors/Certification Bodies will be held as scheduled on Oct. 22 and 23, 2013, in Long Beach, CA. The agenda for the meeting, to be held at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center, is now available on the meeting page.
The agency also pointed out that due to the lapse in Federal funding, FDA had to cancel the public meeting scheduled for Oct. 10 and 11, 2013 in Miami, FL. In a news release, the agency said, "We regret that we will be unable to reschedule it but will continue to look for additional opportunities for public input on the proposed rules under FSMA."
