FDA's FSMA Inspections - New Requirements, New Approaches & New Industry Defenses

Learn insights on how FDA field investigators and their state dairy regulatory counterparts will be enforcing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Have your Quality Assurance, Regulatory and Operations staff update key programs to be ready for the inevitable FDA FSMA inspection, starting as early as July 5, 2012.

We’ll provide specific information on FSMA requirements, both those with published regulations and those with regulations still pending. The challenge for the dairy industry is that Congress made certain parts of FSMA self-enacting, meaning FDA is required to enforce these provisions, with or without published regulations, i.e. the HACCP-like “preventative controls”. This webinar will cover issues specific to the dairy industry including required written programs on:

Ingredient & Packaging Supplier Management
Allergen Management Program
Processing Equipment Cleaning & Sanitizing
Environmental Monitoring Program – as part of a plant’s verification program that could include finished product testing and a consumer complaint program.

Sanitary Food, Packaging & Ingredient Transport
Product Traceability/Recall
Employee Training Program
Food Defense/Biosecurity
Employee Training

Also learn how FSMA has expanded FDA’s right to almost all records maintained by dairy plants and what exceptions are left, i.e. when to say "No" to an FDA inspector.
