IoT Controls in Food Safety
Foodborne illness is extremely common. In fact, one out of every six Americans becomes sick from foodborne illness every year. This is why the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) of 2011 was created. The FSMA places strict requirements on businesses in the food and beverage industry. The law is designed to increase food safety in an effort to decrease the incidence of disease.
Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011
The FSMA requires food and beverage companies to provide detailed documentation of all potential risks and preventative measures. It gives the FDA authorization to enforce mandatory food recalls. The law also places stricter rules on food imports.
Previously, FDA mandatory inspections were performed in set intervals. FSMA gives the FDA the power to increase the frequency of these inspections based on a company’s individual risk assessment.
Food and beverage companies across the U.S. are already scrambling to meet the strict requirements of the FSMA. It’s extremely important that companies maintain compliance. Accurate data collection is crucial. Failure to prove compliance can result in business failure.
