The Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) final rule applies to most entities who import food into the United States from abroad, including domestic facilities and food brokers. For each food it imports, an importer would be required to develop,maintain, and follow a Foreign Supplier Verification Program that provides “adequate assurances” that its foreign supplier is producing the food in compliance with processes and procedures
that provide “at least the same level of public health protection” as FDA’s standards for preventive controls and produce safety, if either is applicable. The foreign supplier must also demonstrate that it is producing the food in compliance with the adulteration and allergen-labeling requirements of the Food Drug and
Cosmetic Act (Sections 402 and 403(w), respectively).
Importers are responsible for actions that include:
(i) determining known or reasonably foreseeable hazards with each food imported,
(ii) evaluating the risk posed by the food, based on the
hazard analysis, and the foreign supplier’s performance,
(iii) using that evaluation of the risk posed by an imported food and the supplier’s performance to approve suppliers and determine appropriate supplier verification activities,
(iv) conducting supplier verification activities, and
(v) conducting corrective actions.
Foreign Supplier Verification Program Training curriculum was designed by regulatory, academicm and industry professionals and developed with funding from FDA as part of the FSPCA. Successfully completing this course will
-Help training participants to understand the FSVP requirements, and
-How those requirements can be met in their particular circunstances.
1. U.S.‐based importers who meet the definition of “importer” in the FSVP rule, which includes those who own or are the consignee of food at the time of entry, or, if no owner of consignee exists, the U.S. agent or representative of the foreign owner.
2. Others who have an interest in ensuring that the requirements of the FSVP rule are met, including brokers, exporters, foreign suppliers of food that will be exported to the U.S., persons/business owners who currently buy food from foreign sources, and representatives of foreign governments.
