AFI FSVP Training Dec 14 & 15

We are happy to announce that Kompass North America partner, the Association of Food Industries, is offering two-day “Foreign Supplier Verification Program” training.  Association of Food Industries is committed to developing programs that facilitate the business of its member companies, encourage free and fair trade, and foster compliance with U.S. laws and regulations. Register now!

Today’s travel issues and concerns have created a limited-time opportunity for industry members to take the Foreign Supplier Verification Program course – the only course with an FDA-recognized curriculum – entirely online. Take note that even with travel restrictions in place, FDA is continuing FSVP inspections and is issuing warning letters for non-compliance. This course is the best way to ensure you and your employees know how to comply and for a limited time, the course is being made available fully online.

You’ll get information to help you:

• Understand how FDA will oversee your FSVP
• Identify what’s needed in your FSVP and the underlying purpose of the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs rule
• Develop your FSVP
• Implement your FSVP
• Implement a compliant record-keeping system

The United States requires food exported to the U.S. to meet U.S. food safety requirements. The Food Safety Modernization Act states importers are responsible to ensure the food they import meets U.S. regulations through a Foreign Supplier Verification Program.

AFI President Bob Bauer served on the task force that developed the standardized curriculum recognized by FDA and is an FSVP Lead Instructor. His work on the task force, understanding of the food import industry, and experience conducting numerous sessions of this course since it was ready in early 2017 to make AFI’s offerings a valuable experience for attendees from all sectors.

FDA-Recognized Curriculum: The FSVP course is a two-day course that takes participants through the FSVP requirements and includes exercises to help them develop their company’s program.
