services to remain applicable and relevant for its specialty crops industry customers.
The USDA Harmonized GAP and GAP Plus+ audit standards will be updated to align
with the Produce GAPs Harmonized Combined Standard. Updates will include:
- Adding more consistent language and reducing redundancy.
- New requirements relating to water treatment, recall program, soil
amendments, and maintenance.
