Importing and Food Safety: Developing a FSMA-Compliant Supply Chain Verification Program

Food importing is one of the most ancient global trades and recently had an update in the United States due to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Now in effect, FSMA hands to importers an increased responsibility to attest to how the food and drinks were made and comply with the requirements of the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) rule.

In this webinar, SGS partners with Goya Foods, Inc. to share best practices on managing a global supply chain and how Goya Foods is navigating the regulations affecting the import of food and food ingredients to the US.
