Frequently asked questions

Does FSMA apply directly to restaurants?

Restaurants are exempt from FSMA's Preventive Controls rule but are still subject to the FDA Food Code through local health departments. FSMA impacts your supply chain and sourcing practices.

What are the Big 9 allergens?

Milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame (added in 2023). These must be declared on all packaged food labels.
