Two men discuss their agricultural product and how FSVP impacts them as Canadian Suppliers.
Western Food Processor

This trade publication covers the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) – a key regulation under the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). It breaks down what US importers must do to verify their foreign suppliers are meeting FDA food safety standards, including risk based activities such as hazard analysis, supplier evaluations, verification processes and corrective actions.

It also covers the FSVP exemptions – foods regulated by other agencies (e.g. USDA, TTB) and the modified FSVP requirements for small businesses and countries with food safety system recognition agreements (FSSRA) such as Canada.

Canadian suppliers are highlighted with information on their obligations under FSSRA with the FDA including documentation requirements and compliance protocols. It also looks at scenarios where full FSVP requirements apply to Canadian suppliers and what evidence US importers need to see to verify compliance – food safety plans, audit reports and certificates of analysis.

A must read for Canadian suppliers to get in line with FSVP standards and trade smoothly with US.
