FSMA Guidelines

The FSMA, or Food Safety Modernization Act, is a U.S. law designed to ensure the safety of the food supply. It shifts the focus from responding to foodborne illness outbreaks to preventing them. The law requires food producers to develop and implement safety plans, conduct regular inspections, and adhere to strict sanitation standards. It empowers the FDA to enforce these rules, monitor compliance, and recall unsafe foods. Ultimately, the FSMA aims to protect public health by reducing the risk of food-related illnesses and enhancing food safety practices across the entire food supply chain.
