The ASTA FSMA Decision Tree was designed to assist ASTA members in evaluating their obligations under the five foundational FSMA rules that are likely apply to spice companies: Preventive Controls in Human Food, the Produce Safety Rule, the Sanitary Food Transportation Rule, the Foreign Supplier Verification Program and the Intentional Adulteration rule. The Decision Tree guides users through a series of questions about their operations to help determine which FSMA rules could apply. It also provides an overview of each rule’s requirements, depending on the nature of the company’s operations. "ASTA Webinar on the Food Safety Modernization Act Decision Tree was presented by Jessica O’Connell, a member of Covington & Burling’s food and drug practice group in Washington, DC. The ASTA Government Relations and Advocacy Committee worked with Jessica to design and develop this new tool. During this 90-minute webinar, Jessica demonstrates how the Decision Tree can be used to navigate the complex framework of FSMA regulations.

A Closer Look at FDA’s Guidance on Food Allergens Webinar
Presented on Friday, July 26, 2024. Undeclared allergens continue to be the leading cause of food recalls, and allergen control programs are commonly cited in 483s and Warning Letters. In the fall of 2023, the FDA released Chapter 11 of FDA’s Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food draft guidance, which addresses the FDA’s current thinking on how to develop and implement robust allergen preventive controls and cGMP programs. Additionally, in the fall of 2022, the FDA issued two guidance documents about food allergen labeling, including notable recommendations on allergen advisory labeling issues. In this webinar, Maile Gradison and Anneke Altieri will offer a deep dive into these guidance documents and share insight into the FDA’s expectations for allergen management programs, including label content and controls, supplier verification activities, advisory allergen labeling, and cGMPs.
