We provide immediate help for food importers to comply with FDA regulations
Did You Receive a Warning Letter Regarding Your FSVP?
Complying with FSVP Regulations shouldn't be that hard. We'll help you keep your importation activities ongoing.
What is an FSVP and why do you need it?
Before importation of food into the US, all import businesses are required to verify their foreign supplier's food production operations offer the same level of public health protection as the preventive controls requirements in the FSMA rule, and ensure the food products are safe for U.S. consumers.
This requirement is described in the federal regulation 21 CFR Subpart L and is called Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). The importer, U.S. owner or consignee of the food offered for import, is the responsible person to develop and maintain the FSVP for each food product and supplier.

The FSVP must be developed by a qualified individual trained to perform the verification activities. Thanks to our experience in FDA compliance and our team of Preventive Control Qualified Individuals (PCQI's), we will be able to assist you with all FSMA and FSVP compliance issues.
