Intentional Adulteration

Ensure your food facilities comply with FSMA Intentional Adulteration (Food Defense) rules.

Intentional adulteration is an increasing problem for global food supply chains. Acts such as terrorism target food production to cause wide-scale illness, death and economic disruption. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has responded with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) final rule 'Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration', which applies to both domestic (US) and foreign food facilities.
