The seminar is ideal for all employees involved in feed, ingredient and pet food manufacturing. AFIA staff experts and Daniel McChesney, PhD, of the US Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, will address:

  • Completing an animal food safety plan
  • Current Good Manufacturing Practices
  • Developing an effective supply chain program
  • Foreign Supplier Verification Program and Third-Party Rules
  • Records for FSMA compliance

AFIA’s next steps

“AFIA was ready for the release of the FSMA final rule and you can rest assured our staff is preparing to make the implementation process as smooth as possible,” said Henry Turlington, PhD, AFIA director of quality and manufacturing regulatory affairs. “This training will help plant managers, quality associates and feed industry personnel gain a better understanding of the animal food rule.”

You can register online or on site.

IPPE is expected to attract more than 28,000 attendees and is a collaboration of three trade shows — International Feed Expo, International Poultry Expo and International Meat Expo — representing the entire chain of protein production and processing. The event is sponsored by the American Feed Industry Association, US Poultry & Egg Association and the North American Meat Institute.
