The 111th U.S. Congress passed S510 in 2010 known as FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), enacted Jan 4, 2011. There are now new responsibilities for food manufacturers and food producers. One of these responsibilities is to identify hazard and develop preventative controls based on that hazard and verification process that the developed preventative control significantly minimizes or prevents those hazards. In this whole new world of process control or development of a process to address a specific hazard, new questions arises on what and when to do and how to get to a specific goal. This symposium aims to address questions that food manufacturers and food producers will face and how academia and researchers can interact to address questions and issues on validation of processes.
