Purdue University to School Vegetable Farmers on FSMA
Purdue University’s Cooperative Extension Service will offer a program twice next month to update vegetable growers on federal regulations involving postharvest food safety and show how they can reduce the risk of contamination.
The program will offer an update on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's produce rule as well as updates by both the Indiana Department of Health and Indiana Department of Agriculture. The workshop will include sessions on postharvest good agricultural practices, use of postharvest sanitizers, good manufacturing practices, and food safety in the retail environment.
