FSMA Training - June 20th
Durham Memorial Hall, Durham

Produce growers (IE walnut growers), buyers, and others interested in learning about: produce safety, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), and co-management of natural resources and food safety.

The U.S. FDA's Produce Safety rule requires in § 112.22(c) that for each farm, "At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration." The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy this requirement; it is the only course currently recognized by FDA.
