Why Are These Proposed
Rules Important? About 15 percent of the U.S. food supply
is importedincluding nearly 50 percent
of fresh fruit and 20 percent of freshvegetables.
Consumers expect that food imported into
the U.S. should meet the same level ofpublic health protection as food produced
domestically.

Key Principles
Importers would be responsible for
ensuring that the food they bring into the
U.S. meets FDA safety standards The requirements provide flexibility based
on the risk of the food

Overview of FSVP
Importers would be required to develop,
maintain, and follow an FSVP for each food
imported, unless an exemption applies.
The requirements vary based on:
Type of food product
Category of importer, such as very small
Nature of the hazard identified in the food Who is to control the hazard

purchased the food being offered for import
If there is no U.S. owner at the time of entry, the
importer is the U.S. consignee

FSVP Requirements
In general, importers would need toconduct the following activities as part of
their FSVPs: Compliance status review of foods and suppliers
Hazard analysis
Supplier verification activities
Corrective actions (if necessary)
Periodic reassessment of the FSVP Importer identification at entry
Recordkeeping

Control of Hazards
The proposed requirements for supplier
verification are primarily based on who is
to control the hazards that are reasonablylikely to occur.
13
-
8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
14/34
Importer or Customer
Controls Hazard
If the importer will be responsible for
controlling a hazard identified as
reasonably likely to occur, the importerwould be required to document, at least
annually, that it has established and is
following procedures that adequately
control the hazard.
14

8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
15/34
Importer or Customer
Controls Hazard (cont.) If the importers customer will be
controlling a hazard, the importer would
need to obtain written assurance, at least
annually, that its customer has established
and is following procedures that
adequately control the hazard.
15

8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
16/34
Hazard Controlled by Foreign
Supplier or Its Supplier FDA is proposing two options for supplier
verification activities when:
The foreign supplier is to control a hazard or The foreign supplier verifies that its raw material or
ingredient supplier is controlling a hazard
The options differ based on approach to hazards
that can cause serious adverse healthconsequences or death to humans or animals
(SAHCODHA)
16
-
8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
17/34
Option 1
If the foreign supplier controls the hazardat its establishment and it is a
SAHCODHA hazard, the importer would
be required to conduct or obtaindocumentation of onsite auditing of the
foreign supplier.
Onsite auditing would also be required formicrobiological hazards in certain raw
agricultural commodities.
17
-
8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
18/34
Option 1 (contd)
For non-SAHCODHA hazards and allhazards for which the foreign supplier
verifies control by its raw material or
ingredient supplier, importer would berequired to choose a verification activity: Onsite auditing
Sampling and testing
Review of supplier food safety records
Some other appropriate procedure
18
-
8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
19/34
Option 2
For all hazards that the foreign supplier
will either control or verify that its supplier
is controlling, importers would need to
choose a verification procedure fromamong: Onsite auditing
Sampling and testing Review of supplier food safety records, or some other
appropriate procedure.

8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
20/34
Option 2 (cont.)
In determining which verification activities
are needed and how often they should be
conducted, the importer would need toconsider: The risk presented by the hazard
The probability that exposure to the hazard would
result in serious harm
The food and foreign suppliers compliance status.

Modified FSVP Requirements
Dietary supplements and dietary
supplement components
Food imported by a very small importer orfrom a very small foreign supplier
Food from a foreign supplier in good
compliance standing with a food safetysystem that FDA has officially recognized
as comparable or equivalent

Effective and Compliance
Dates Effective date expected to be 60 days after
publication of the final rule
Compliance dates Generally 18 months after publication; or
Six months after the importers foreign supplier is
required to comply with the new preventive controls or
produce safety regulations.

Proposed Rule
Accreditation of Third-Party
Auditors
-
8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
24/34
Key Principles
A credible third-party program will allow
the agency to leverage industry audits
A credible third-party program will help to
facilitate entry of certain imported food
A comprehensive third-party program will
create a new path for working with foreign
governments

8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
25/34
Overview
FDA must establish voluntary program foraccrediting third-party auditors to conduct
food safety audits of foreign facilities and
their foods FDA will recognize accreditation bodies,
which will in turn accredit third-party auditors
under the program
FDA can directly accredit third-party auditors in
limited circumstances
25

8/12/2019 FSVP and Third Party Accreditation Power Point
26/34
Are Third-Party Audits
Required? Importers will not generally be required to
obtain certifications
In certain circumstances FDA would usecertifications in determining: Whether to admit certain imported food into the U.S.
that FDA has determined, based on FSMA criteria,
poses a food safety risk, or
Whether an importer is eligible to participate in the
Voluntary Qualified Importer Program (VQIP)

How it Would Work
FDAFDA would recognize accreditation bodies based on certain
criteria such as competency and impartiality.
Accreditation BodiesAccreditation bodies would in turn accredit qualified third-party auditors.
Third-Party Auditors or Certification Bodies
Third-party auditor s/certification bodies would audit and issuecertifications for foreign facilities and foods.
Foreign FacilityForeign facilities may choose to be audited by an accredited
auditor /certification body.

In meeting eligibility requirements for VQIP
for expedited review and entry of food In providing certification or other
assurances of compliance as a condition
of entry for food determined by FDA topose a safety risk under FSMA criteria
