FSVP,
Verification That Holds Up
US importers of human and animal food must verify that their foreign suppliers meet US food safety standards. We build and maintain a Foreign Supplier Verification Program that holds up at inspection.

A Programme Built Around Your Actual Suppliers
What FSVP requires of importers
Under FSMA, the importer of record carries the obligation to verify that food brought into the United States is produced in a manner consistent with US requirements. The programme has to be documented, kept current, and available when FDA asks for it.
- Hazard analysis covering biological, chemical and physical hazards for each food
- Evaluation of the foreign supplier’s performance and compliance history
- Supplier verification activities matched to the risk identified
- Corrective actions where a supplier does not meet requirements
- Records maintained in English and available for FDA review
Built to survive an inspection
An FSVP that exists only on paper fails at the first inspection. We build programmes around the products and suppliers you actually use, and keep the records structured so they can be produced on request.
- Qualified Individual responsibilities defined and documented
- Written procedures for each food and foreign supplier pairing
- Onsite audits, sampling and testing, or records review as verification
- Reassessment when suppliers, foods or hazards change
- Preparation for FDA FSVP inspection, including remote records requests
Where importers usually need help
Most FSVP findings come down to missing hazard analyses, or verification activities that do not match the risk identified. If you are already importing, a review of your current records is usually the fastest way to see where the exposure sits.
