If you have attended a FSMA Produce Safety Rule grower training in the past and want to refresh your knowledge, this webinar will provide updates on the FSMA Produce Safety Rule for produce farms. Come to this webinar to hear about what is new since you attended and get your questions answered. All are welcome, even if you have not attended a Produce Safety Rule training.

Presenters will include Extension Educators in food safety and horticultural systems at the University of Minnesota, Iowa State University and inspectors from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Topics will include:

• Updates and highlights from inspections on farms that have been conducted thus far. What inspectors are seeing on farms and other tips they have for a successful FSMA Produce Safety Rule inspection and strategies to reduce risks.
