what are the possible outcomes of FSMA inspection?
FSMA stands for Food Safety Modernization Act. This act regulates the food industry and is implemented by the FDA. FSMA is a comprehensive set of regulations that helps to protect people from foodborne illness and death.
FSMA is a law that regulates the production and distribution of food in the United States. Inspectors from FSMA can inspect any company at any time.
The possible outcomes of FSMA inspection can be:
- No violations found
- Violations found but not documented
- Violations found and documented
The possible outcomes of FSMA inspection in case violations are found:
- The company does not meet the standards set by FSMA and it is closed for business.
- The company is given a warning letter to be more careful in the future.
- The company is fined for violating FSMA laws and regulations.
The FDA has two types of enforcement actions it may take against a company or facility:
- Warning Letter: If the company or facility is found in violation of FSMA, they will receive a warning letter outlining what they need to do to correct the issue.
- Closure: if the company or facility is found in violation of FSMA and doesn't correct it within 10 days, they will be closed down.
