Officially aligned with FSPCA guidance and taught by a recognized compliance expert, this FSVP course gets you audit-ready—fast.

FDA Inspections Are Increasing—Are You FSVP Compliant?

The FDA is stepping up inspections on imported food products—and many U.S. importers aren’t ready. If you’re listed as the FSVP importer of record, even for a single shipment, the agency holds you responsible for verifying that your foreign supplier is meeting U.S. safety standards. That means when the FDA arrives, they expect to see a complete Foreign Supplier Verification Program plan on file, documentation of supplier evaluations, and proof that you’ve taken corrective action when necessary.

If you can’t produce this on demand, your shipment can be flagged, your registration revoked, or your business delayed—sometimes indefinitely. These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re happening right now.

FSVP compliance isn’t optional, and it’s not something you can “figure out later.” You need a program in place before that inspection notice arrives.

What the FSVP Rule Requires from U.S. Importers

Under FSMA, the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs rule places legal responsibility on U.S. importers to verify that all food coming from overseas meets U.S. safety standards. This includes:

• Conducting risk-based evaluations of every foreign supplier
• Verifying that each product was manufactured under FDA-compliant safety practices
• Maintaining a written FSVP plan, updated regularly and accessible for inspection
• Taking and documenting corrective actions when suppliers fall short

There’s no exemption for small importers. Even if you only bring in one product a few times a year, you’re still subject to the full rule.

This Course Meets—and Exceeds—FDA Expectations

Registrar Corp’s FSVP Training is built directly from the FDA-recognized FSPCA curriculum and taught by Cynthia Weber, an internationally known food safety expert and longtime liaison to regulatory agencies. She doesn’t just teach the rule—she shows you exactly how it’s applied in real inspections.

The course includes:

• All official FSPCA modules, aligned with current FSMA regulations
• Downloadable templates that mirror FDA documentation requirements
• Supplier evaluation worksheets, recordkeeping systems, and FSVP plan examples
• A full year of access so you can revisit modules before audits or team handoffs

This isn’t an academic course. It’s a hands-on, inspection-ready training program designed to remove ambiguity, eliminate guesswork, and make sure your FSVP documents hold up to scrutiny.
