Training & Capability Development for FSVP: Build Knowledge. Strengthen Teams. Sustain Compliance.
Compliance under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is not just about systems and documentation—it requires people who understand and can execute compliance effectively. The Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP), enforced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, requires that activities be performed by qualified and properly trained individuals.
Without the right knowledge and capability, even the best-designed compliance systems can fail.
This is where Training & Capability Development becomes essential—delivered by FSVPServices.com.
