The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has many fresh-cut and produce processors examining the ways they’re handling food safety. With FDA inspections underway, you’ll want to be sure your plant is following rules and regulations.
Nearly as important as doing the right things is documenting the who, what, when and where of your food safety processes. If an FDA inspector shows up at your plant, they will ask for documentation and, if it wasn’t documented, it’s as if it never happened. Plus, if you fail to produce the right records, the FDA could shut down production.
