From Connecticut Sea Grant:
As many of you may know, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), was signed into law January 2011. FSMA is the most significant food safety legislation since the passage of the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The Act resulted in seven different Rules, one of which deals with new or updated GMPs and preventive controls for human food (21 CFR 117). Seafood processors have been wondering whether this new rule will impact them.
