Adding to this growing pressure in 2016 are the new FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act laws, put in place to ensure responsibility and accountability. Reliance on contract manufacturers and global supplier networks means manufacturing is becoming more complex, resulting in a direct increased complexity of the supply chain. In turn, this can impact and reduce quality. The FSMA holds manufacturers responsible and accountable for quality across all points in the value delivery chain. Reliance on paper- based records to manage food quality processes creates inefficiencies and a lack of visibility across the supply chain. To overcome this challenge F&B manufacturers require effective and efficient supplier and importer quality management procedures to monitor and ensure supplier quality regiment is executed.
