Don’t Let Your Bioterrorism Act Registration Lapse
The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA) has for the first time, specifically put the onus on importers to have a program in place to verify that the food products they are bringing into this country are safe. The idea behind FSMA is to change FDA regulatory enforcement and focus to more of a preventative approach, instead of reactionary. These new requirements include risk-based controls, foreign supplier verification program, certification, and audits. Among the requirements are new rules for Bioterrorism Act registrations. Read on to make sure your registration isn't cancelled unnecessarily.
