Assurance University to Host Webinar Detailing The Food Safety Modernization Act Signed By President Obama

Schaumburg, IL (January 5, 2012) - With the signing of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) by President Obama, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been given greater authority to establish prevention-based controls across food supply chains, which will create more frequent FDA inspections and greater safety and recordkeeping requirements. To further explore the new law and its implications on your business, Assurance University – a continuing education program for business professionals – will be hosting a one hour webinar titled “The Food Safety Modernization Act: Easier To Swallow Than You Think”.

You can catch the webinar on Wednesday, January 25, 2012, from 11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m. CST.

Presenters DJ Alwattar (Vice President, Northland Laboratories) and Eric Greenberg (Principal Attorney, Eric F. Greenberg, P.C.) will break down each piece of the new food safety law, its implementation one year after passage and how it affects your business. The webinar will further explore the burdens presented by the FSMA, and what areas of your company you can review to prepare. You will walk away thoroughly understanding the current status of FDA efforts to enforce the policies, and how your input can affect FDA regulations.
