Frequently Asked Questions - FDA Compliance Consultant in Toronto

What is FSMA and who must comply with it?
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the most sweeping reform of US food safety law in 70 years, signed into law in 2011. Most facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for human consumption in the USA must comply with FSMA's Preventive Controls for Human Food rule (21 CFR Part 117), which requires documented Preventive Controls managed by a Qualified Individual (PCQI).
Does FSMA apply to Canadian food exporters to the USA?
Yes - if you are exporting food to the USA, you must comply with FSMA regulations. You may need to register your facility with FDA, comply with the Preventive Controls rule, and your US importer must comply with the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) to verify your food safety systems.
What is a PCQI and does my facility need one?
A Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) is a person who has successfully completed PCQI training (FSPCA training program) or is otherwise qualified to develop and oversee your Preventive Controls food safety plan. Most FSMA-covered facilities need at least one PCQI. Iyarkai's consultants are PCQI-trained.
What is the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP)?
FSVP requires US importers to verify that their foreign (non-US) food suppliers are producing food in accordance with processes and procedures that provide the same level of public health protection as required in the USA. Canadian exporters to US importers need to be aware of and cooperate with their US buyers' FSVP programs.

FDA / FSMA Compliance Support in Toronto: What Makes It Different

For Toronto manufacturers, FDA compliance is export-market access: the US buyer market wants Canadian suppliers that behave like domestic FDA-regulated facilities — registered, FSMA-compliant, and easy for their FSVP importer to verify. That means an FDA facility registration with US agent, a Preventive Controls-aligned food safety plan (your SFCR PCP gets you most of the way), and export paperwork that clears prior notice without drama.

Does my CFIA-compliant PCP satisfy FDA's Preventive Controls rule?

They're closely aligned but not identical — FDA expects a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) to prepare or oversee the plan, and elements like the food-allergen labelling controls reference US law (including sesame under FASTER). We run a PCP-to-PC crosswalk and close the deltas, which is far cheaper than a second system.

What is an FSVP importer and why do they keep asking me for documents?

Your US customer (or their designate) legally must verify you as a foreign supplier — hazard analysis, your food safety records, sometimes an audit. Making that easy is a sales advantage: we assemble a supplier-verification dossier that answers FSVP requests in one send.
