Food safety has become an increasing requirement for Food & Beverage Manufacturers. The FDA has established the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to reform Food Safety Laws and Regulations, in order to ensure Consumer Safety through a sage U.S. Food Supply Chain. Through this Act, Food & Beverage Manufacturers are expected to establish systems that focus on Prevention instead of Reaction.
In order to effectively meet FSMA regulation, several Authorized Certification Agencies have developed special Standards based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. These standards provide specific program prerequisites that a Food & Beverage organization needs to meet. Since being certified by these agencies implies Compliance with FSMA Regulations, there is an increasing demand and pressure for the Food & Beverage Manufacturers to become Accredited with Multiple Certification Agencies.
