Have you ever thought a small piece of produce safety technology might make
complying with the demands of audits and inspections easier, but cringed when you
found out how much it cost? Have you ever been able to spend the money on the
equipment, but wished you could try before you buy it? If you answered yes to any of
those questions, you might benefit from a program developed by the North Central
Regional Food Safety Modernization Act Center (NCR FSMA Center).
The NCR FSMA Center is launching a program where an operation can try a small
piece of produce safety technology for up to 90 days, then return it. We currently have
Charm Nova Lum II ATP meters that will come with 25 swabs and a 1-gallon byoplanet
cordless electrostatic backpack sprayer that will come with 1 gallon of sanitizer for rent.
These items can be rented, free of charge, through MSU Extension’s Agrifood Safety
Program.
This is a work in progress, and we would like to add equipment that YOU WANT to try. If
there are things you’d like to try that fit within the constraints we have (under $5,000 and
portable enough to fit in a sedan) we are open to getting you the equipment to rent and
return to us. If you’d like to discuss a rental, please reach out to Phil Tocco at tocco@msu.edu.
