Event Description


October 25, Friday 10:00 AM PDT | 01:00 PM EDT

This webinar on the Foreign Supplier Verification rule, regulating food imports, will explore all 175 pages of the new rule to provide a clear idea of its new standards, criteria, definitions, and limited exemptions.

Why Should You Attend:

The Foreign Supplier Verification rule will place a new burden on importers. Importers of food will be responsible for identifying hazards and conducting various verification activities to ensure the hazards are controlled.

This webinar will discuss standards and record keeping requirements, set by the Foreign Supplier Verification rule, that if not followed could lead to refusal of a shipment or an Import Alert. The rule is incredibly detailed and replaces decades long reliance on ambiguous standards and guidance documents. This training is designed to help importers and foreign suppliers of food and dietary supplements to understand the rule and how to comply to import products once the rule goes into effect.

For the food industry, Marc’s practice includes working with both the FDA and USDA on compliance, recalls, and import matters. His clients rely on his ability to equally balance market opportunity with risk exposure. The result is a philosophy that utilizes a client’s strengths in adapting to regulatory issues and market limitations. Marc’s strategy is to develop smart corporate governance along with regulatory compliance.

Topic Background:

Foreign imports of food and dietary supplements into the US will never be the same. In August the US FDA announced a new rule under the Food Safety Modernization Act regulating imports – the Foreign Supplier Verification rule. FSMA represents the first overhaul of the US food safety net since 1930s and the change to imports is now changing for the first time too.
