There have been numerous discussions and comparisons between US FDA regulated food processing companies that have been under a GFSI program, for some time, and FSMA regulations using the HARPC scheme.  This three speaker symposium’s objective is to assess the impact of the phased rollout of FSMA, in the U.S. by FDA, with plants already certified under a GFSI scheme. The session will include experienced experts from GFSI certifying bodies and the industry. Participants will share experiences about the first year of FSMA implementation, with emphasis on Supply Chain Preventive Controls. Differences between GFSI schemes and FSMA, based on plant size, will be discussed.  Also, time permitting, the presenters will provide feedback and advice for improvement in an open forum.
