Registrar Corp saves importer over $50,000 in compliance costs and FSVP penalties
U.S. food importer successfully prepares for FDA inspection with food safety experts and ComplyHub™ software, saving them over $50k in labor and potential FDA penalties.
CHALLENGE
24-hr timeline for FSVP compliance opened wholesale importer up to host of damaging consequences
When FDA conducts FSVP inspections, they mandate that documents must be “retrieved within 24 hours of request.” Without an FSVP or proper documentation, this tight timeline left a wholesale U.S. importer scrambling to comply and facing a multitude of issues, pending failure:
- Public Warning Letter issued by FDA causing significant reputation damage
- Detained shipments and penalties costing valuable time and resources
- Halted business operations due to compounding effect of noncompliance
SOLUTION
Leveraging Registrar Corp’s industry experts and automated FSVP compliance platform, ComplyHub
With guidance from our Food Safety experts and utilizing our ComplyHub solution, the importer avoided a failed inspection. Specifically, Registrar Corp helped to:
- Explain FSVP requirements and how to become compliant
- Consult on inspection specifics and how to properly respond to FDA requests
- Introduce ComplyHub’s supplier and document management features as a means of lowering long-term risk and satisfying FSVP requirements going forward
