TraceGains Hosts FSMA Webinar Series

“Trust, But Verify” – Tips & Tools for Foreign Supplier Verification
 
WESTMINSTER, Colo. - Nov. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- The FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule on Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) for Importers of Food for Humans and Animals is now final, and compliance dates for some businesses begin in 18 months. TraceGains, the leading Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) software solution for food and consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, will host a webinar on Foreign Supplier Verification (FSV) on December 16th to help the food supply chain simplify compliance with the new requirements.

The webinar: “Trust, but Verify – Tips and Tools for Foreign Supplier Verification” will zero-in on the new preventative steps and documentation required to ensure the safety of your foreign supply chain. The session is designed to give an overview of the key provisions and tips and tools you can use to have a world class foreign supplier verification program.

FDA attorney Marc Sanchez will be the guest speaker for the FSV webinar on December 16, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. MST. Specifically, Marc will will cover:

•    Examining your current supplier program & any gaps in hazard analysis;

•    What the FDA says about electronic record-keeping for FSV;

•    Third-party verification of foreign suppliers;

•    Risk management best practices for FSV; and,

•    Tips & tools to simplify compliance with FSV.

“Trust, but verify” is a Russian proverb that President Ronald Reagan used to refer to U.S.relations with the Soviet Union regarding nuclear nonproliferation during the Cold War. TraceGains is borrowing the same proverb because it appropriately describes the new food safety landscape when it comes to imported food ingredients or raw materials. New risk-based monitoring and preventive-controls shift the burden of proof to importers who must then confirm their goods made from or with these imports are in compliance with U.S. laws and regulations. Anyone with a foreign supplier base should attend the webinar and should urge their foreign suppliers to attend as well. To register for the webinar, visit www.tracegains.com/events. After the formal presentation we will make ample time for Q&A so this is a great opportunity to learn about the new way of doing business for importers and suppliers.
