Understanding and Implementing the FSMA Produce Safety Rule

Profile

The FSMA Produce Safety Rule established standards for growing, harvesting, packing and holding fresh produce on the farm in an effort to prevent potential microbial contamination and reduce food borne illnesses. To help growers prepare for implementation of the Produce Safety Rule, PDA and Penn State Extension have teamed up to offer On-Farm Readiness Reviews. An On-Farm Readiness Review, or OFRR, is a voluntary program and consists of a non-regulatory, pre-inspectional visit. This is a confidential service, and best of all, it’s at no cost! Contact Kim Carlen for more information.

Prepare for your visit to the show by viewing the Interactive Map for outdoor and indoor exhbitor booths. The listing of exhibitors at the top left navigation of the map provides searchable features for all commercial vendors, non-profit associations, and organizations reserving booths at Ag Progress Days. Penn State encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its program and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, please contact Ag Progress Days at agprogressdays@psu.edu or call 814-865-2081 at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the program to allow for sufficient time to effectively respond.
