Supplying food to the United States requires clear communication between foreign suppliers and U.S. importers. When suppliers understand what U.S. importers need, they can provide more relevant documentation, reduce repeated requests, and respond more efficiently—supporting smoother verification and stronger customer relationships.

This practical, self-paced online course helps foreign food suppliers understand U.S. importer expectations, support verification activities, and respond appropriately to information requests related to FDA inquiries, investigations, or recalls.

FSVP for Exporters Online is designed for food manufacturers, processors, ingredient or produce suppliers, and other businesses currently supplying—or preparing to supply—food products to U.S. customers.

It is particularly relevant for:

  • Quality assurance and food safety managers
  • Regulatory affairs professionals
  • Export managers
  • Supplier documentation personnel
  • Plant and operations managers
  • Commercial teams supporting U.S. accounts
