FSMA Fridays: FDA Access To Records Under FSMA (Part Three Of Four)

On the last Friday of every month, Barbara Levin of SafetyChain, a leading provider of food safety and quality assurance automation, and compliance solutions, hosts FSMA Fridays™, the leading online forum for the food and beverage community to learn the latest information about the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Featuring Dr. David Acheson, the popular monthly interactive pod/webcast is sponsored by SafetyChain Software and The Acheson Group.

In part two of FSMA Fridays: FDA Access To Records Under FSMA, Jill Bender and the Acheson Group panel discussed the types of information the FDA can ask food processors and food manufacturers for in an audit, the list of items the FDA can access, and how the FDA is protecting food producers’ recipes with access to such important information. Additionally, the panel addressed where this information can be found. Here, in the third installment of the series, the group handles questions from the pod/webcast’s live audience.
