FSVP requires ongoing supplier verification, hazard analysis, and corrective action documentation. Aleph keeps those records organized and cited, so you can produce them when FDA asks.
Unless an exemption applies, food you import requires a documented hazard analysis, supplier evaluation, verification activities, and corrective actions when a supplier falls short (21 CFR 1.504–1.508).
Each foreign supplier needs its own verification profile. Managing dozens of supplier relationships across multiple food products is overwhelming without a system.
You must make your FSVP records available promptly when FDA asks for them (21 CFR 1.510(b)). Food from an importer who isn’t complying with FSVP is subject to refusal of admission (21 CFR 1.514).
Aleph gives food importers a structured system for the records FSVP requires — from initial hazard analysis through ongoing supplier verification, each requirement cited to 21 CFR part 1, subpart L.
Record each foreign supplier with its contact and facility details, your evaluation and approval, and its verification history — linked to the products it makes.
Upload and organize supplier agreements, audit reports, certificates of analysis, and corrective action records. Link each document to the supplier and product it covers.
Record a hazard analysis for each food product: the known or reasonably foreseeable hazards you identify, and the controls your supplier uses to address them.
When issues arise, record what was found, the corrective actions taken, and whether you continue, suspend, or stop using the supplier. Maintain a clear, signed record of how you addressed each problem.
Log supplier audits, sampling results, and other verification activities. Aleph tracks when each activity was performed and when the next one is due.
Upcoming and overdue supplier verification activities show up in your in-app compliance alerts. The checklist also cites the duty to re-evaluate each supplier when new information comes in, and at least every three years (21 CFR 1.505(c)).
On every plan, Free included, export the FSVP records for the products you choose as one organized package, or email a secure, time-limited download link. Supplier files, hazard analyses, and verification activities — all in order.
Manage dozens of products across multiple suppliers. Filter your FSVP products by readiness to find what needs attention.
Uploads, record signings, and changes are timestamped in your action log, and signed FSVP records carry the signer and date — evidence that your FSVP program is active and maintained.
