A key component of compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is development of a written food safety plan to identify and implement preventive controls to address all potential chemical, biological, physical and radiological hazards. As foods intrinsically are chemicals that are sourced/grown and processed with chemicals, determining the risks of chemicals is a necessary and important component of a food safety plan. This symposium will scope the universe of chemicals hazards that may be in foods, what we know about the presence of these chemicals through existing monitoring programs and explain the process necessary to determine if exposure of these chemical hazards is a risk to human health. This symposium will also describe the drivers that need to be considered when establishing your company’s chemical preventive controls program and what the FDA considers important to include in your program.
