The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) which was started on January 4th, 2011, amended section 415 of the FD&C Act. As a result, additional registration information may be required, and the FDA can suspend the registration of a food facility if:
The FDA finds the food held at the facility has a reasonable probability of causing serious adverse health consequences or death.
The facility created, caused, or was otherwise responsible for such a reasonable probability
The facility was aware or had reason to know of such reasonable probability, yet still packed received, or held food ignoring the potential for risk
For help obtaining your FSVP certification and/or registering/renewing your FDA Food Facility contact Quality Smart Solutions for assistance. The biennial renewal period is every other year during the period beginning on October 1 and ending on December 31 of each even-numbered year.
