Produce Safety Rule Training

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture has scheduled free training sessions for produce growers across the state and beyond.

“Fruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), and co-management of natural resources and food safety should attend,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Attending a session will satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement that requires at least one supervisor or responsible party on a farm to complete food safety training recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.”

Registration is open to anyone in the United States with preference given to North Dakota growers. Produce growers are FREE. Non-produce growers will be invoiced $100 to cover course materials after registration.
