The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., recently stated, “This law [Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)] represents a sea change for food safety in America, bringing a new focus on prevention, and I expect that in the coming years it will have a dramatic and positive effect on the safety of the food supply."

Mark your calendars to attend a webcast on the FSMA on Tuesday, March 29 from 2 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. EDT.
