Food Safety

The United States continues to strengthen food safety regulations, with evolving laws such as FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) and MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act). These changes directly affect foreign exporters, and insufficient compliance may result in detentions, refusals of entry, or enforcement actions.

ACI Law Group provides specialized legal counsel on compliance with regulations enforced by U.S. government agencies, including the FDA, USDA, and NMFS. Encompassing all aspects of importing, manufacturing, and marketing food, dietary supplements, pet food, cosmetics, medical devices, and drugs in the U.S., we help clients navigate the complex regulatory environment with clear and reliable solutions.
