Editor's view: Are you as self-assured as the 61% of U.S. food and beverage professionals that feel confident their organizations are prepared to meet the increasingly strict requirements of the FDA’s FSMA in 2016? Share below.
A recent survey conducted by Sparta Systems Inc. (spartasystems.com) an industry pioneer and global leader in enterprise quality management software (EQMS) solutions, found that 61% of U.S. food and beverage (F&B) professionals feel confident their organizations are prepared to meet the increasingly strict requirements of the FDA’s Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) in 2016.
The first reform of food safety laws in more than 70 years, FSMA aims to shift the focus from responding to contamination of food supply to preventing it – and nearly half (43%) agreed that the regulation will ultimately increase visibility and safety throughout the supply chain.
