FDA & FSMA Resources

Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)

Consuming safe food is a basic human right we all have.  Being in the food safety industry gives us all the opportunity to contribute to the strengthening of food safety requirements.

According to the FDA, the “Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the most sweeping reform of our food safety laws in more than 70 years…”

Focusing specifically on the FSMA Preventive Controls for Human Food rule (PC), SQFI knows the importance of this regulation and continues to develop additional training and resources. Our focal point is to assist our stakeholders with strengthening their food safety programs to meet the robust requirements of the PC rule.

SQF Addendum for Preventive Controls for Human Food Rule

As a result, SQF has created the “SQF Addendum for the Preventive Controls for Human Food Rule.”

See the Addendum here.

The SQF Addendum is a valuable tool to help suppliers identify and understand any differences between the SQF Program and the PC rule. Used in conjunction with the SQF Food Safety Code: Food Manufacturing and Food Safety Code: Storage & Transportation, this Addendum explains the additional requirements needed to comply with the FDA PC rule.

The SQF Addendum can be used by FDA registered food facilities within the U.S., as well as those importing into the U.S., to better understand the regulatory requirements needed to comply with the PC rule.
