Failure to implement and maintain an adequate FSVP can result in severe consequences, including an FDA Import Alert, refusal of admission, and detention of products or raw materials at the U.S. border.
FSVP importers are responsible for ensuring that the food they import complies with all applicable food safety regulations, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). This includes supplier approval and verification, hazard analysis, and appropriate corrective actions when issues are identified.
We help importers understand FDA expectations, assess current FSVP programs, and implement practical systems that support compliance and help prevent uninterupted import operations.
