Key Take Away:
This webinar covers the Final Rules on the Sanitary Transportation practices of Human and Animal Foods (now law) as published by the Food and Drug Administration under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and addresses potential problems that may occur during food transportation processes.
Overview:
Over 84,000 food shippers, carriers and receivers are impacted by this new law and most have less than one year for full compliance. This new law may require significant changes to procedures currently employed for food transportation operations, personnel, vehicles, containers, trailers tools and equipment used in food transportation. The final rules have now established the law which has significant differences from earlier published proposed food transportation rules, laws and guidance documents. Self-reporting of compliance failures is required as are critical shipper-carrier agreements for data, records and reporting.
The FDA defines a carrier as a “person who owns, leases, or is otherwise ultimately responsible for the use of a motor vehicle or rail vehicle to transport food. The carrier is responsible for all functions assigned to a carrier in this subpart even if they are performed by other persons, such as a driver that is employed or contracted by a trucking firm. A carrier may also be a receiver or a shipper if the person also performs the functions of those respective persons as defined in this subpart.”
The new law was published on April 6, 2016, which means there is little time left for perishable food carrier operations to develop and implement risk reducing preventive food handling, load and un-load, as well as make distribution and transportation process improvements.
Why Should You Attend:
The final rules on the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods establish FDA food transportation training requirements for all carrier personnel committed to shipper food transportation operation responsibilities. This webinar is not “maybe” training but is REQUIRED for all carrier personnel engaged in transportation operations upon hiring and as needed thereafter if the carrier has responsibilities for sanitation, temperature control and associated documentation.
What carriers are exempt from these training requirements?
Carriers with an average annual income less than $500,000 requirements
Carriers of food completely enclosed by a container
Carriers of live food animals, except molluscan shellfish
Carriers whose shippers will assume carrier responsibilities under the rules
Areas Covered In This Webinar:
This webinar covers contracts of carriage and agreements; system assessment strategy; flowcharting your operations, establishing critical parameters and measurement; standards for management, validation of preventive controls, sanitation, temperature monitoring and container (vehicles, trailers and shipping containers), traceability and training; procedures, record keeping and retention; audit and certification, training, wash, ATP and bacteria testing, inspection and re-inspection requirements, calibration, MSDS, statistical analysis and records retention.
The final law applies to shippers, receivers, loaders, and carriers engaged in transportation operations on U.S. roads or by rail whether or not the food is being offered for or enters interstate commerce.
Under the law, a shipper is defined as a person who initiates a shipment of food by motor vehicle or rail vehicle. If you are classified as a shipper, you are responsible for assuring that your carriers comply with U.S. FDA food transportation training and related records requirements. We recommend that you notify your carriers as soon as possible.
Record retention and other records requirements apply to shippers and carriers engaged in transportation operations. Shippers must retain records that demonstrate that they provide information to carriers as required.
