Abstract: The FSVP regulations require importers of most imported foods to take steps to verify that the foods they import into the United States are produced so they are safe and properly labeled with respect to allergens. These regulations are intended to work in tandem with other provisions of FSMA and the FD&C Act to create a more seamless system of food safety to protect U.S. consumers. Respondents to the collection are persons who import food into the United States subject to agency regulations.
