On January 4, 2011, Congress enacted the most sweeping changes to food safety laws in more than 70 years.  GMA worked closely with legislators to craft the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and has continued to work closely with the FDA as it develops more than 50 new rules, regulations and guidance to implement the provisions of this new law.  This presentation will provide an overview of FSMA, discuss the implications of the law to the food industry, how companies should start preparing for implementation and the GMA action plan going forward. An outline of the new requirements published in the FDA proposed rules for the food industry as a result of the new food safety law will also be discussed.
