Food safety has always been the No. 1 concern of California farmers and ranchers. In addition to developing practices that successfully protect food safety, farmers must now comply with a new Produce Safety Rule being implemented under federal law. A cooperative effort called the Food Safety Training Partnership will help California farmers comply.
Created by the Farm Employers Labor Service, California Farm Bureau Federation and Safe Food Alliance, the training effort will work specifically on produce safety training designed to assist growers in complying with the Produce Safety Rule under the federal Food Safety Modernization Act.
