AFI Association of Food Industries


AFI Serving the U.S. Food Import Sector

Welcome to AFI's Foreign Supplier Verification Programs Course!

The Foreign Supplier Verification Programs regulation within the Food Safety Modernization Act places the responsibility for the safety of imported food on the entity identified as the FSVP Importer. As the trade association for the U.S. food import industry since 1906, we at AFI understand the importance of meeting U.S. food safety requirements and we‘re here to support you in achieving compliance and avoiding costly penalties.

AFI offers the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance FSVP course, the only one with FDA-recognized curriculum. Your instructor is AFI President Bob Bauer, who served on the FSPCA task force that developed the course. With his expertise in the food import industry, his contributions to the development of the program and his experience in teaching the course, you can trust that AFI offers a valuable experience for attendees from all sectors of the food import industry.

Our fully online format means you can participate from anywhere in the world, without the time and expense of travel. The FSVP course is your best vehicle to learn how the FSVP regulation impacts your company. With FDA continuing to conduct FSVP inspections and issuing warning letters for non-compliance, it’s crucial you and your employees are equipped with the necessary knowledge to meet these requirements. Those who complete the course also receive an FSPCA certificate that becomes part of the records they’ll include in their compliance documentation.
