Food Safety Modernization Act: What It Means For Your Food Processing Facility

Signed into law on January 4, 2011, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is changing food safety laws. This means big changes for the entire food production industry including food processing and food manufacturing facilities. According to the FDA, “[The Food Safety Modernization Act] aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it.” For food processing or food manufacturing facilities in Houston, it is important to be aware of the laws and regulations under the new FSMA and also how your commercial pest control plan is already helping.

For those working in the food industry, you know just how horrific a pest infestation can be when it comes to dealing with food. Disease, illness, even fatalities can be a direct result of pests like rodents, roaches, flies and many other pests spreading contamination.
