What is FSVP?

FSVP is the new food safety regulation put in place by the FDA.
FSVP requirements are complex. All partners in all sections of the food industry must address what part of FSVP is applicable to them.

In May 2017, the FDA mandated their Foreign Supplier Verification Programs or FSVP for importers of international food items for humans and animals. If you’re an importer of these items, we can help guide you through the process of getting approval for your shipments.

We have extensive knowledge and experience dealing with the FDA and we always stay updated with the latest regulations and trends. We have a wide network of connections with transportation companies and warehouse storage units across the US to help you distribute your goods as well.

For all your FSVP compliance needs, visit our contact page to get in touch with us today.
