Description

• The FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) was
  signed into law by the President Obama on January
  4, 2011. This law establishes new
  responsibilities for companies that export
  products to the US along with other provisions
  for local companies. This is a general overview
  of the FSMA.
• FSMA represents the most sweeping overhaul of
  the U.S. food safety system since 1938. One of
  its main objectives is to control and prevent
  hazards along the food chain (from farm to fork).
  In order to do so, FSMA is establishing new
  responsibilities for companies, a new Paradigm of
  Control on Imports, enhanced enforcement powers
  to FDA, and new fees on food companies and
  importers. This is an overview of the FSMA and
  the current status of implementation.
