As part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) continued roll-out under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the FDA released the text of three new rules:
Official versions of the rules are expected to be published in the November 27, 2015, Federal Register. The compliance deadlines for each rule will be tied to the final rule publication dates:
These three new rules round out the first five FSMA regulations. (See our previous alert on the first two rules.) The final two FSMA rules, covering Sanitary Transportation and Intentional Contamination, are expected mid-2016.
We are advising clients on all of the new FSMA requirements and scheduling private educational seminars and Q&A sessions. If you have questions about the new FSMA regulations or other food regulatory questions, please contact Chris Predko (616.752.2190 or cpredko@wnj.com).
