The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expanding its outreach to small- and medium-size growers to address questions that have arisen since the proposed Produce Safety Rule was issued in January 2013. As part of the extended outreach, FDA has issued several new publications focusing on key issues such as agricultural water and alternatives and variances to certain provisions in the proposed rule. The additional information can be found here. Comments on this proposed rule and the Preventive Control rule are due by September 16, 2013.
