The FDA's Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) requires importers to verify that their foreign suppliers are producing food in a manner that meets U.S. safety standards. Under FSVP, food groups are categorized to streamline regulatory requirements and verification processes. These categories help importers tailor their verification activities based on the specific risks associated with different types of food products. The primary food groups for FSVP purposes include:
1. *Produce*: Fresh fruits and vegetables.
2. *Seafood*: Includes fish and shellfish.
3. *Dairy Products*: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy items.
4. *Eggs and Egg Products*: Shell eggs and processed egg products.
5. *Meat and Poultry*: Beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and products containing these meats.
6. *Grain and Bakery Products*: Includes raw grains, baked goods, and cereals.
7. *Beverages*: Non-alcoholic beverages, including juices, sodas, and water.
8. *Nuts and Legumes*: Includes tree nuts, peanuts, beans, and peas.
9. *Oils and Fats*: Edible oils and fats, including vegetable oils and animal fats.
10. *Other Processed Foods*: Includes a wide variety of processed and packaged foods not covered by the above categories, such as snacks, sauces, and ready-to-eat meals.
Importers must conduct risk-based activities, such as audits, sampling, and testing, based on these categories to ensure compliance with U.S. food safety standards.
