FOREIGN SUPPLIER VERIFICATION PROGRAM (FSVP)

FSVP, a regulation under FSMA putting food safety responsibilities primarily on
importers for the first time, requires food importers covered by the rule must
verify that their foreign suppliers are producing food in a manner that provides
the same level of public health protection as the preventive controls or produce
safety regulations, as appropriate, and to ensure that the supplier’s food is
not adulterated and is not misbranded with respect to allergen labeling.



A food importer means the U.S. owner or consignee of an article of food that is
being offered for import into the United States.  If there is no U.S. owner or
consignee of an article of food at the time of U.S. entry, the importer is the
U.S. agent or representative of the foreign owner or consignee at the time of
entry, as confirmed in a signed statement of consent.  The importer for FSVP is
not necessarily the same as the importer of record for the U.S. Customs.

 

Under FSVP, importers are required to:

 * Determine known or reasonably foreseeable hazards with each food from each
   foreign supplier

 * Evaluate and re-evaluate the hazard risks and the foreign supplier’s
   performance

 * Determine appropriate supplier verification activities

 * Conduct supplier verification activities through an onsite audit, sampling
   and testing, and review of relevant food safety records.

 * Conduct corrective actions

 

FSVP allows US importers to rely on a third party who has qualified individuals
(QI) and qualified auditors (QA) to conduct a hazard analysis, evaluation of
food risks and foreign supplier performance, and suppliers verification as long
as the evaluation of risks and foreign supplier performance and supplier
verification is not performed by the foreign supplier and importers must review
and assess the relevant documentation.

   foreseeable food safety incidents
