Last year 51% of U.S. food importers audited by the FDA failed – mainly due to an inadequate Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). Businesses that don’t comply with complicated FSVP regulations are putting themselves at risk of costly penalties and supply chain disruptions.
In this webinar, FSVP compliance experts Coley Anderson and John Kelly will discuss:
- New requirements of the FSVP Final Guidance
- Common challenges that U.S. importers currently face
- Tools to automate and simplify FSVP compliance and stay audit-ready 24/7
