The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) represents sweeping reforms of the USA's food safety regulations. FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation and Foreign Supplier Verification regulation were published in late 2015 and go into effect over the next few years, depending on facility size and type. The Food Safety Preventive Alliance (FSPCA) was established in 2011 to help small and midsize food companies to comply with the Preventive Controls regulations through development of training and technical assistance. This session provides an overview of the Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation. It also reviews FSPCA training, how individuals can access the training, and how qualified persons can become Lead Instructors. The session also addresses implications for food companies sending food to the USA.
