FDA's final rules under The Food Safety and Mondernaiztion Act (FSMA) are going to dramatically change the way food manufacturers do business as they represent the most sweeping changes to U.S. food law in more than 75 years.
Seven major regulations have already been released and more final rules and guidances are expected shortly, affecting nearly all points of the supply chain.
Come this Fall, FDA inspectors will start knocking on your door to assess your compliance with the regulations which means you have a short amount of time to understand and comply with the rules.
