FSMA basics not so basic for food brands – podcast

FSMA swept in much-needed food safety regulations for U.S. brands, but many companies continue to struggle with foreign import requirements, notes Rae Martin, Continuum Partner Consulting. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), when signed into law in January 2011, created regulatory requirements for preventive controls across the supply chain for human and animal food facilities. This unprecedented law better ensured imported products meet U.S. standards for safety, notes Rae Martin, president, Continuum Partner Consulting, in this podcast with Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, Natural Products INSIDER.
