UNPA / Registration now open: FSVP training, Feb. 28-March 1; Annual Members' Meeting, May 8-10

​Dear Colleagues,

We’re pleased to announce that registration is now open for two upcoming UNPA events:

Foreign Supplier Verification Programs Course for Foods and Dietary Supplements
Feb. 28-March 1
Salt Lake Community College, Miller Campus
Sandy, Utah

Only 30 seats available!
This course is designed to help participants understand the role of food importers under the new Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) rule, part of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Foods covered under the new rule include dietary ingredients, raw materials used in dietary supplements and natural products marketed with a Nutrition Facts panel as a food product. The course will focus on the expectations of the new rule and will explain the requirements of importers. Many importers are already outside of compliance with this law, published in 2015.
Who or what falls under the FSVP requirement: For the purposes of FSVP, an importer is the U.S. owner or consignee of a food offered for import into the United States. If there is no U.S. owner or consignee, the importer is the U.S. agency or representative of the foreign owner of consignee at the time of entry, as confirmed in a signed statement of consent. See Am I Subject to FSVP? for more information.
