The FDA said its Produce Safety rule establishes “science-based standards” for growing, harvesting, packing and holding produce.
The Foreign Supplier Verification Progarms (FSVP) rule requires importers to verify foreign suppliers are producing food in a manner that meets US safety standards.
A third batch of regulations, The Accredited Third-Party Certification rule, sets up a programme for the accreditation of third-party certification bodies to conduct food safety audits and to certify foreign food facilities meet FDA food safety requirements.
