FSMA Produce Safety Training Course Now Offered Online
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 04/03/2020
Due to COVID-19 social distancing protocol a Food Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety grower training class will be offered online on April 21. The requirement that growers attend these trainings in person will return once COVID-19 restrictions are
lifted.
This training fulfills the requirements of the FSMA-PSR and results in certification. It will be taught by University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture.
Those growing fruits or vegetables for sale, should be familiar with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule, and should learn how to comply with the rule. The Rule is a federal law using science-based standards to reduce the potential
for fresh produce contamination that may lead to illnesses and death.
People who grow, harvest, pack or sell about $27,577 or more in produce (per year averaged over three years) must meet the produce safety rules for FSMA. If you are above the threshold, there are a few exemptions that may limit your responsibilities.
As with the in-person training, online attendees are required to be present for the entire online class in order to receive a certificate.
The deadline to sign up for the course is April 14. To register or for more information, visit https://fsmaproducesafety.wiscweb.wisc.edu
