Enforcement of the FDA's Intentional Adulteration (IA) Rule is anticipated to begin by late summer or early fall. This includes all human FDA regulated foods, including those facilities that follow existing FDA regulations normally outside the realm of FSMA such as manufactures of Acidified Foods, Bottled Water, Dietary Supplements, Farms that produce Milk, Infant Formula, Juice HACCP, LACFs and Seafood HACCP.
Designed to identify those significant steps, points, or procedures and reduce the risk of wide scale public health harm, i.e., mass casualties, resulting from intentionally adulterated human foods at the manufacturing level, enforcement of this rule WILL be different from other FDA regulations.
Join Christopher Snabes, a leading instructor of the IA rule, who will explain the purpose, intent, and unique enforcement of the IA Rule. You will learn the relationship between food safety and food defense requirements - including what could result in a Form 483a - and how the IA Rule expands across the supply chain, both domestically and abroad.
Learn essential tips to help you prepare ahead of a FSMA Food Defense audit, what the FDA expects a facility to have in a written food defense plan, and how to train your teams to identify Actionable Process Steps (APS) and proactively mitigate risks, including required management components.
