The Impact of New FSVP & Third Party Accreditation Rules on Your Food Business

The wait for final FSMA Rules is quickly ending and the implementation periods have begun. On November 10, 2015 the FDA published the final rules for the Foreign Supplier Verification (FSVP) and Third Party Accreditation programs and is now preparing guidance documents that extend the requirements previously published under the final rules for cGMP, Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human and Animal Food. Most businesses have less than one year for full implement compliance implementation. 

Since the final FSVP and 3rd Party Accreditation rules rely heavily on new rules for HARPC, Environmental Monitoring, Validation and Validation of Preventive Controls. In this webinar expert speaker John Ryan will review earlier final rules and he summarize the final FSVP and 3rd Party Accreditation rules. It is critical to begin to understand how the FDA has interwoven the FSMA into more of a compact and focused set of rules than proposed rules might have led us to believe. 

The FDA FSMA rules are based on the ideas that risk can be reduced through preventive approaches not widely understood or followed in the food industry. Regardless of your ability to understand these new rules, the implementation period has begun. The waiting period is over.

Construction Risk Management with Current Issues & Real Life Examples

Construction projects entail considerable risk. Profit margins are relatively low when compared to the investment made, and often estimates of cost can only be based on best guesses. Therefore, it is critical to manage and minimize the exposure to risk. Fortunately, there are several opportunities in the life of a project that allow for significant risk management . These opportunities start with the decision of whether or not to bid, and following through to the bidding, subcontracting, and management phases. In this webinar Expert Speaker Fritz Marth will explore the risk management strategies that can be employed at the various times, and in the various aspects, of a construction project. Using real-life examples, Speaker will also explore the successful implementation of these methods, as well as instances where a failure to manage risk resulted in unsuccessful outcomes. Session Highlights:  Assessing whether or not to bid a project Developing an adequate bid Properly p

Importance of Quality as Work Culture in Food & Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing

Good manufacturing practices, developed in the past 20 years, have introduced new hygienic rules that limit contamination by pathogenic and spoilage bacteria. Consumers are more aware of the quality and storage of meat and of the safety measures taken during its preparation. However, several criteria other than eating quality play an important role in meat acceptability, e.g., price of meat, attitudes and knowledge of consumers towards meat, and convenience in preparing meat.  “ It’s difficult to find anyone who says food safety is not important, but people don’t always realize that when you do good for food safety, you do good for the business ,” Hernandez said. … “ A strong food safety program and discipline provide benefits that go well beyond food safety. ” These are the key factor of Food Safety Standards: Food Safety is Good for Business Impact on Businesses & Study Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point GMP In Food Industry Food Safety Is Good For Bus

Overview of  FDA computer system  validation requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11 compliance FDA requires that all computer systems that handle data regulated by the Agency to be validated in accordance with their guidance on computerized systems. This guidance was first issued in 1983, and the main points of focus remain consistent today, despite the number of years that have passed and the technology changes that have taken place. The guidance was revisited for its application to the medical device industry, as the first issuance addressed pharmaceuticals. In 1997, 21 CFR Part 11 was issued to address electronic records and signatures, as many laboratories and other FDA-regulated organizations began seeking ways to move into a paperless environment. This guidance has been modified over the years to make it more palatable to industry, and this includes discretionary enforcement measures. The intent was to avoid creating a huge regulatory compliance cost to industry that was in
