Raising the Bar: Food Defense
Frank Pisciotta, CSC, President of Business Protection Specialists, featured at Asis Online (June 18, 2021)
Feature Summary
When the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was passed in 2011, it was the first regulatory recognition of intentional acts against the food supply in the United States. Among the FSMA’s long list of changes – including the regulation of produce and updates to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authorities—is a rule that emphasizes food defense and strengthens its efforts.
Frank examines the Rule, outlining what regulated food facilities must do to comply – from vulnerability assessments to written food defense plans – while highlighting the gaps between regulatory compliance and truly comprehensive food defense.
