TraceGains Webinar to Provide Food Manufacturers FSMA Update Next Week

Oct. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- TraceGains is offering a highly anticipated webinar providing updates from Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).  The webinar will be Thursday, October 16, 2014 at 12:00 pm (EST) presented by Antonio Gallegos and Charles M. Breen.

The FDA made a news when it issued a set of “re-proposed” food safety regulations under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including regulations for Current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventative Controls (HARPC) for Human Food.

Two of the significant issues that the FDA is addressing include product testing and supplier verification fit into FSMA’s requirement for food companies to verify that their preventative controls effectively and significantly minimize hazards at their facilities. This webinar will provide an overview of FDA’s comments on these two topics and insight about the legal issues they may raise for food companies. Further, the webinar will explore how the FDA expects you to implement FSMA, and what the FDA expects for firms to show they are in compliance.

Breen is an expert regulatory consultant for food companies on FDA matters.  He brings with him the benefit of a distinguished 41 year career at the FDA in food safety, imports, and program management.

Gallegos provides regulatory compliance, dispute resolution and trial strategies for the food, nutrition, medical device, pharmaceutical and sports industries. He represents businesses and individuals in lawsuits, arbitrations, mediations, government investigations and regulatory enforcement actions.
