Implementation & Enforcement of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to be Addressed during "Ask the FDA" Town Hall Meeting at Third Annual Food Safety Consortium
(PRWEB) October 26, 2015 -- Michael R. Taylor, JD, Deputy Commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine, FDA, will deliver the opening plenary presentation on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) at the Third Annual Food Safety Consortium (FSC). After his formal remarks, Mr. Taylor will field questions from nearly 400 consortium attendees during a special “Ask the FDA” Town Hall Meeting.
Roberta F. Wagner, Deputy Director of Regulatory Affairs, CFSAN, FDA will deliver the afternoon plenary on FSMA Implementation: FDA's Strategies for Gaining and Maintaining Industry Compliance with the New Rules. Ms. Wagner will address the newest FSMA rules, how FDA will enforce them and strategies for industry compliance.
“We are glad to give our FSC attendees such timely and meaningful information on FSMA straight from the FDA right at a time when three new FSMA rules will be finalized and time is ticking on implementation. Large companies have one year to be FSMA-compliant, small companies have less than two years,” explains Rick Biros, FSC conference director and president & publisher of Innovative Publishing Company, LLC.
The Food Safety Consortium conference is a summit meeting of Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) industry experts and government officials. The agenda is comprised of individual presentations, "Ask The Experts" discussion groups, workshops and training programs running concurrently, coupled with overarching plenary sessions paired with a table-top exhibition. The Food Safety Consortium model is based on harnessing the energy and leveraging the knowledge base of many well-respected industry experts. In having these experts run their own conference, workshop, training program, and/or presentation, all under one roof, the model lends itself to being called a “Consortium."
