FSMA SANITARY RULE REQUIREMENT:

> The Hidden Teeth Behind FSMA: Executives Risk Personal Liability for Food Safety Compliance – Park Doctrine.

RESPONSE FROM LINDSAY:

>It is essential to be pro-active and have appropriate procedures, documents and teams in place to help protect everyone- the public, the company and yourselves. The Park Doctrine is a legal standing, which basically states that the FDA in conjunction with the Department of Justice (DOJ) can legally hold Owners, CEOs, or Senior management of companies liable if they are aware of a Food Safety issue.

If a Senior Executive, including Managers is aware of a condition where food products can be adulterated or a condition that could lead to the adulteration of food products and they do not ensure the issue is fixed or looked after in a timely manner, they can be held criminally responsible. For example, if an owner or a maintenance manager of a trucking company is aware there are trailers in the fleet that have deficiencies and therefore these trailers are not able to prevent food from becoming unsafe during transportation and does not deal with the deficiencies in an effective manner, they could be held criminally responsible for not following the regulations.

The Park Doctrine is the tool that allows the FDA to force industry to react in a more efficient and effective manner when it comes to non-compliances.
