Food Safety Modernization Act
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a concern to all farmers who grow produce. As you may already know, while the regulations are set, there are many questions revolving around what the regulations actually mean. While the FDA, lawyers, and extensions agents work out the details, we will remain as up-to-date as possible on the standards. Contact us if you have any questions or would like us to assist you in implementing FSMA.
