FSMA Fridays: 2nd Review Cycles Of Preventative Controls, Supplier Verification, And Produce Rules (Part Five Of Five)

Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4

Safety Chain’s VP of Marketing and Communications, Jill Bender, discusses the second review cycles of several of the Food Safety Modernization Act’s key rules with the Acheson Group’s Dr. David Acheson and Jennifer McEntire.

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 the fourth portion of FSMA Fridays: 2nd Review Cycles Of Preventative Controls, Supplier Verification, And Produce Rules, Safety Chain’s Jill Bender discussed the topic at hand with The Acheson Group panel and began handling questions from the pod/webcast’s live audience. Here, in the fifth and final portion of the series, the group continues discussing the topic at hand with the live audience.

Jill: Since warehouses are required to be FDA-registered also, would they also be required to be fully compliant to FSMA?

Jennifer: It relates a little bit to David's comment about the distribution center and what they would be doing. Yes, warehouses are registered facilities, and as such, the preventive controls rule would apply to them. But, the FDA has recognized that, depending on the type of product that that warehouse handles, it may not really make sense for them to have to fully comply.
