Why FSVP matters for your imports

Under the Food Safety Modernization Act, U.S. importers must verify that their foreign suppliers produce food that meets U.S. safety standards. That means hazard analysis, supplier approval and verification, detailed records, and ongoing re-evaluation.

Failure to comply can lead to FDA import refusals, warning letters, shipment delays and lost business credibility. FSVP is not a one-time file. It works best as a system you keep running.

Every stage of FSVP, covered

We guide your organization through every stage of FSVP, ensuring readiness for FDA audits, inspections, and enforcement.

1

Supplier evaluation

Evaluate each foreign supplier’s risk and performance, and document the approval decision.

2

Hazard analysis

Identify biological, chemical and physical hazards for each food you import.

3

Verification activities

Confirm suppliers are controlling risks through audits, testing and documentation review.

4

Recordkeeping

Keep complete, accurate records that are ready when FDA asks for them.

5

Corrective actions

Investigate issues, resolve root causes and prevent them from recurring.

6

FDA inspection readiness

Re-evaluate your program as risks change, so you are prepared before an inspection.

Where to start

Wherever your program stands today, there is a clear next step.

1. Assess. Check your records and programs before a regulatory review or FDA inspection with a readiness and gap assessment.

2. Set up. Put your FSVP in place with compliance set-up for importers, exporters or brand owners.

3. Maintain. Keep it current with the annual FSVP maintenance package or FSVPQI and U.S. Agent representation.
