The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has shifted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) focus to preventing foodborne illness, to ensure food is safe for human consumption. 21 CFR Part 117 is one of seven major FDA rules to implement FSMA, which include specific actions that must be taken at each point in the global supply chain to prevent contamination to human food. The FDA carefully monitors food facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold human food to ensure consumer safety. The mandated and required regulations include implementing good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulations, hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls, a food safety plan and a risk-based supply-chain program.
