FDA Food Facility Inspection and Compliance

For the first time, FDA has a legislative mandate to require comprehensive, prevention-based controls across the food supply under the new Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011. The legislation recognizes that inspection is an important means of holding industry accountable for its responsibility to produce safe food; thus, the law specifies how often FDA should inspect food producers. FDA is committed to applying its inspection resources in a risk-based manner and adopting innovative inspection approaches.

How will the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act make imported food safer?

Importing Medical Device, Packaged Foods and Rx Drugs

While most packaged foods are only subject to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Food & Drug (FDA) prior notice filings, some can also be subject to USDA. An experienced Customs Broker comes in handy when importing packaged foods.

Example:
Dry soup mixes may contain meat products and therefore would require a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) filing as well.

Importing Seafood

When importing Fish and Seafood products, it is important to state whether they are live, chilled or frozen, whole, filet, boned or deboned.

Tuna is especially sensitive as an original certificate may be required which must be submitted to CBP and then to NOAA. It is also highly recommended you confirm the product you intend to import is not subject to an embargo before purchasing.

Importing alcohol

When importing Alcohol for commercial purposes, you should be aware that an ATF import license is required as well as ATF import permits (COLA) for each brand and type being imported.
We can be of assistance in these types of imports as our experience in this area is quite extensive.
