A Produce
Safety Alliance teleconference, along with staff from the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), will provide the latest information on the implementation
of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), according to an article on The
Packer by Coral Beach available here.
A recent blog post on FSMA is available here.
It is a
free event and scheduled for July 7 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Kathy Gombas,
FDA deputy director of food safety and applied nutrition, is the primary
presenter, and she and other staff members will be available for questions
after the presentation.
The
teleconference will focus on the FDA’s strategy rules that are required by
FSMA. The operational strategy was released in May even though some rules are not yet finalized.
