Before we start
This assessment covers the 8 highest-risk areas of FSVP compliance for U.S. importers of Mexican produce.
Each question is scored. Your result will tell you exactly where your gaps are and what to prioritize. It takes about 4 minutes.
Question 1 of 8
Do you have a written FSVP program on file?
This is the foundational document FDA will ask for first.
Question 2 of 8
Have you conducted a written hazard analysis for each of your foreign suppliers?
FSVP requires a documented hazard analysis for each supplier and commodity.
Question 3 of 8
Have you verified your Mexican suppliers using an accepted FSVP method?
Accepted methods include on-site audits, inspection, sampling/testing, or reviewing supplier food safety records.
Question 4 of 8
Is there a designated FSVP Importer of Record for your shipments?
FDA requires the entity responsible for FSVP to be identified as the Importer of Record in ACE at entry.
Question 5 of 8
How many Mexican produce suppliers do you currently import from?
Each supplier and commodity combination requires its own FSVP documentation.
Question 6 of 8
Have your Mexican suppliers been subject to any third-party food safety audit (PrimusGFS, SQF, GlobalG.A.P., etc.)?
Third-party audits don’t replace FSVP, but a certified supplier may reduce FDA scrutiny.
Question 7 of 8
If there were a food safety issue with one of your shipments, do you have documented corrective action procedures?
FSVP requires written procedures for when a hazard is identified or a supplier fails verification.
Question 8 of 8
When was the last time your FSVP program was reviewed or updated?
FSVP must be reviewed when you add new suppliers, regulations change, or supplier verification reveals a concern.
