Day One - Monday, June 25, 2012
Interactive Working Group and Benchmarking Session on FSMA Regulation
for Preventive Controls, Foreign Supplier Verification and Imported Food
Curious to learn if your company is on the right path? Anxious to hear how other companies are preparing
for FSMA-mandated preventive controls and new regulations governing imported food?
By the date of this conference, it is expected that two key sets of regulations under FSMA addressing Risk-Based Preventive Controls under Title I
and Foreign Supplier Verification and Imported Food under Title III will have been published. Highly anticipated by the industry given some of the
new requirements outlined in the regulation, these interactive working group sessions have been specifically structured to provide an opportunity for
in-house food safety, regulatory and compliance executives and legal counsel to benchmark current or contemplated internal controls and food safety
plans with peers in a private, intimate setting. Learn what steps your colleagues are taking now to minimize the impact of the final regulations once
published. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to gain real-time feedback and advice on how your company or client may want to go about
structuring its internal preventive controls and policies for addressing imported food and foreign suppliers in light of points laid out in the Food Safety
Modernization Act.
