FSMA Regulations are Still Stalled by White House Office of Management and Budget

More than six months after being sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations are still stuck there.  For months, food manufacturers and food safety advocates have waited for the regulations to be announced only to find themselves still waiting.  This is an important law decision for food manufacturers as is any regulation that has direct effect on their industry.  With food safety as a hot topic in the food processing industry and pending regulation uncertainty, it's no wonder they are anxiously awaiting a decision.

While it may not be clear what the newest food safety regulations will be, it is clear that having detailed documentation will become more and more necessary for food and beverage manufacturers.  One extremely beneficial tool to help with documentation, as well as so many other aspects of the food manufacturing business, is O2 Food ERP software.  This food manufacturing software system was developed for the food and beverage manufacturing industry in mind so it provides tools that standard ERP software systems just don't offer.

A food and beverage ERP software system, such as O2 Food ERP, can help you track lots from the beginning to the end and provide the necessary documentation to support it.  With food safety concerns happening at any point of the supply chain, it's also important to have the proper tools available in the event of a recall.  This food software system also provides a one-click recall so you can rest assured you have the necessary information and resources to perform the recall.

The bottom line is that food safety regulations will probably always be changing.  Keep your food or beverage manufacturing facility in compliance and implement the right food manufacturing ERP software system to help.  For more information on this food ERP software or other process manufacturing software systems, visit www.evs-sw.com.
