FSVP Requirements Compliance Management Set-Up for Exporters

FSVP Requirements Compliance Management Set-Up for Exporters

As a foreign food exporter, your products are subject to the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) once they enter the U.S. market. While the legal responsibility lies with the U.S. importer, exporters that proactively align with FDA FSVP requirements gain a competitive edge by being audit-ready, reducing delays at the border, and increasing buyer trust.

Consultare Inc. Group provides an FSVP Compliance Management Set-Up for Exporters—designed to help manufacturers, brands, and co-packers outside the U.S. prepare documentation, risk assessments, and verification records aligned with U.S. FSVP requirements.

Scope of Work

FSVP Readiness Program

Develop and implement an FSVP-compliant documentation system tailored for foreign exporters, in alignment with 21 CFR 1.500–1.514. This includes recordkeeping, supplier verification support, and buyer assistance packages.

Supply Chain Risk Documentation

Prepare and organize risk analysis of raw materials and finished products, based on 21 CFR 117.405 to 117.430. Support your U.S. buyer's verification obligations.

Onsite/Remote Audit Preparation

Prepare audit-ready documentation, self-assessment templates, and third-party audit reports in line with 21 CFR 117.435 to support importer audit requirements.

Product Specification Management

Develop detailed specification sheets for raw, WIP, packaging, and finished goods in line with 21 CFR 117.475. Maintain version control and traceability.

Food Defense / Adulteration Risk Mitigation

Conduct a vulnerability assessment and build a mitigation strategy as outlined in 21 CFR 121.126–121.135. Support food defense compliance.

Recall and Crisis Documentation

Develop product recall SOPs and internal checklists in line with 21 CFR 117.139. Include exporter-buyer coordination roles for recalls or FDA actions.

Label Compliance Assessment

This service provides internal tools—not a regulatory review—for identifying labeling non-conformances and tracking revisions. It includes structured forms and assessment checklists such as Product Label Review Forms and 101.3 Identity Compliance Checklists, helping teams evaluate labels against FDA requirements and maintain accurate, up-to-date product information.

Traceability Plan Development

Document traceability procedures for high-risk products in accordance with 21 CFR 1.1315. Assist in building the Traceability Record Package.

Food Safety/HACCP Plan Alignment

Develop or align your HACCP/Food Safety Plan with 21 CFR 117.126 and 120.8 to meet buyer verification expectations under FSVP.

Written Assurance & Buyer Support Package

Provide a complete document set (written assurances, verification records, risk logs) that importers can use to fulfill their FSVP obligations.

Customized SOPs and Training Support

Create branded SOPs, policies, and forms that demonstrate your commitment to U.S. food safety. Optional staff training sessions are available.
