The Federal Food Safety Modernization Act

2017 will bring a new set of rules for the transportation industry in the form of the Federal Food Safety Modernization Act. 

Businesses are still preparing for the April compliance date. Experts say that some in the industry still remain ‘pretty clueless’ about the new rule. The main idea in implementing the new rule is to ensure food safety, but not necessarily food quality. This is where carriers will need to be aware of potential liabilities in food product quality in renegotiating new contracts with shippers. Carriers that are uninformed in the new regulation specifics could end up more liable and with more obligations than what the new law intended.

Keeping food safe for consumption is the key point in the Food Safety Modernization Act. The best way to establish food safety is to maintain appropriate temperatures when transporting goods from coast to coast.
