What is the FSVP Rule?
The Foreign
Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) was created on November 27, 2015, as
“a significant provision of the Food
Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)”. The FSVP “shifts the burden of certifying
the safety of food imports from [the] FDA to the importers themselves”. This
means that importers must set up a program that verifies that both the foreign
supplier of the food and the food itself will comply with United States (U.S.)
laws.
