Sep 01, 2016 /prREACH/ -- TydenBrooks, the global leader in the design, manufacture and supply of tamper evident seals, tamper evident tape and security seals, is working with food companies to ensure compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations. Food companies are putting their final plans in place to comply with August 30, 2016 deadline for preventative controls for human and animal food. TydenBrooks’ tamper evident seals, tamper evident tape and security seals are an excellent way to meet government regulations and preserve the integrity of food for consumers and pets.
Under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the FDA requires the food industry to implement comprehensive, preventive controls across the food supply chain. Thus, all food facilities that fall under the FSMA Act must conduct “Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventative Controls” (HARPC) to reduce the risk of contamination. All future food safety plans in the U.S. and companies exporting products to the U.S. will have to be in line with HARPC to control or mitigate hazards with a risk based approach to prevent contamination.
Strategy for Preventative Controls for Human and Animal Food: - Deadline: August 30, 2016
- What it is: Most companies in the food industry must develop preventative controls to protect against the intentional adulteration of food. The FDA has identified two main areas: 1) human food and 2) animal food.
- What to do: Food companies must implement strategies to mitigate the contamination of food through protective controls. Companies will need to review production and inventory processes to ensure science-based controls are in place to prevent tampering with and contamination of raw ingredients, food in process and finished goods.
- FSMA compliant tamper evident seals: Use of tamper evident tape and security seals will be crucial strategies to safeguard food production facilities and finished goods in transit. The industry uses tamper evident tape and security seals to help safeguarding food and ingredients during storage, processing, manufacturing, finished goods inventory and shipping. Use of tamper evident tape is an effective way to keep food safe during processing and production. Tamper evident tape is also useful to protect pallets from tampering in inventory and transportation. With the largest inventory of security seals and tamper evident tape, TydenBrooks is well positioned to partner with food companies be FSMA compliant.
