Whether you're ready or not, FDA inspections are changing. AIB International is strongly urging all FDA-regulated facilities, including foreign companies that export to the United States, to examine their regulatory inspection program and make updates so they are adequately prepared for their next FDA inspection. During your next FDA visit the inspector will be critiquing your food safety programs and records and conducting extensive swabbing for pathogenic evidence. Are you prepared?
Shawn Stevens, FDA Consultant/Attorney and founder of the Food Industry Counsel, recently published an excellent FDA Inspection Checklist to help food companies know what to do before, during, and after their FDA inspections.
The document includes pre-inspection, actual inspection, and post-inspection recommendations. We've summarized the checklist below, but strongly encourage all FDA-regulated food facilities to download the complete list for detailed explanation and recommendations for each item listed below.
