The first major compliance date for importers covered by the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) rule arrives on May 30, 2017. FSVP is mandated by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
FSVP requires importers to verify that their foreign suppliers of food for human and animal consumption meet applicable FDA safety standards.
More specifically, FSVP requires that importers verify that their suppliers are producing food using processes and procedures that offer the same level of public health protection as the preventive controls (PC) requirements in the preventive controls and current good manufacturing practices rules for human food and animal food and produce safety FSMA rules, and that the food is not adulterated and properly labeled with respect to allergens.
