To enable the
industry to better understand the largest set of rules to impact feed and pet
food since the 1950s, the American Feed Industry Association is hosting Food
Safety Modernization Act regional seminars across the United States during the
next 18 months. Registration for the "FSMA Regional Seminar, Phase 1:
Building a Foundation for Compliance" is now open. This is the
first of the multi-phased seminar schedule.
The first phase I meeting will kick off the series July 27-28, in
Sacramento, Calif. Additional seminars will be hosted in Des Moines, Iowa, and
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 11-12 and Aug. 14-15, respectively. Phase II
and phase III will follow in 2015.
The training sessions
will cover various components of the new law that will be required by feed and
pet food manufacturers as well as ingredient suppliers. All three phases of the
regional seminars are ideal for those interested in understanding how FSMA will
impact their business, and will be most beneficial to those that manufacture
animal feed, pet food and feed ingredients.
"During phase I,
starting in Sacramento, we will focus on therequirements for feed
manufacturing, pet food manufacturing and ingredient suppliers to comply with
the FSMA law," said Richard Sellers, AFIA senior vice president of
legislative and regulatory affairs. "Our goal is to help attendees
establish fundamentals for FSMA compliance within their companies. Attendees will
be provided with samples of procedures, forms and reference information that
can be utilized in their corporate offices to develop a compliance plan."
The two-day
Sacramento seminar will include presentations such as "CGMPs: The
Foundation for an Effective Food Safety Plan," "What are the Key
Components of a Supplier Verification Program?" and "Hazard
Identification and Analysis."
