On June 13, 2017 a team of JAS USA employees’ attended a seminar entitled “Navigating the U.S. FDA Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) Rule.” The Foreign Supplier Verification Program is a newly implemented rule by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It requires importers to perform certain risk-based activities that ensures food imported into the United States has been produced in a manner that meets applicable U.S. safety standards. Importers are also required to ensure that products are not adulterated or misbranded with respect to allergen labeling. The seminar provided in-depth knowledge of the rule. The knowledge obtained will assist our JAS teams with being able to answer questions and guide importers in the process of complying with this rule. JAS USA is committed to following the development of the market and supports the customers’ needs as necessary!
