During this one-hour lunchtime webinar, learn the ins and outs of the Food Safety Modernization Act:
Produce Safety Rule (FSMA: PSR), Pre-Harvest Water changes. The final rule establishes requirements
for systems-based pre-harvest agricultural water assessments for hazard identification and risk
management decision-making.
Covered farms – those that are subject to the requirements in the FSMA: PSR – that use pre-harvest
agricultural water for covered produce are required to conduct agricultural water inspections and assessments at least once annually, and whenever a significant change occurs that increases the likelihood that a known or reasonably foreseeable hazard will be introduced into or onto produce or food contact surfaces. As part of their pre-harvest agricultural water assessments, farms must evaluate certain factors that could impact produce safety as a result of pre-harvest agricultural water use.
