The Executive s Guide to New Food Safety

Food companies are heading into a hurricane of new regulatory con trols as a result of the 2011 implementation of a very complex new law. The Food Safety Modernization Act signifies big changes in quality control, enforcement, imports, and liability for everyone connected to the food industry. The Executive's Guide to New Food Safety Laws brings a veteran food industry professional's perspective to the "How-To" aspects of survival under the new law for affected businesses. Written with an expert's attention to detail, this book highlights the changes addressed by the Food Safety Modernization Act and the practical ways in which they will impact various parties, from food company boards of directors to import agents in foreign ports. With an enhancement of the FDA's powers and increasing consequences of noncompliance, the avoidance of new regulatory problems warrants special attention. The Executive's Guide to New Food Safety Laws provides insight into the new world of food regulation to better prepare you to address new requirements and avoid inspection and serious repercussions.
