Is Your FSVP Program Ready for an FDA Inspection?
Use this free interactive checklist to verify your compliance with 21 CFR Part 1, Subpart L — before the FDA does it for you.
📋 Open Free Checklist →What the Checklist Covers
Qualified Individual & Agent
Verify your FSVP Agent meets the 21 CFR 1.500 definition, holds FSPCA training, and is properly documented and reachable by FDA.
Foreign Supplier Evaluation
Confirm your hazard analysis is complete and that every supplier has been evaluated for food safety practices and compliance history.
Verification Activities
Check that your verification approach — audits, product testing, or records review — is appropriate to the risk level of each supplier.
Documentation & Annual Review
Ensure your FSVP program is current, in English, retained for at least 2 years, and reanalyzed within the past 12 months.
Exemptions & Special Cases
Understand which products are exempt, how very small supplier rules apply, and how to handle equivalency agreements and import alerts.
Critical Non-Negotiables
Items marked CRITICAL are single-point failures — one gap here can trigger an import alert, detention, or FDA Warning Letter.
