The California Citrus Quality Council hosted a webinar on Thursday, March 10 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm on FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Proposed Rule on Agricultural Water. FDA’s proposal is a significant change in approach to agricultural water regulation for producers and places significant responsibility on growers to document, inspect and identify hazards and implement mitigation measures, if needed. The proposed rule includes a public comment period that extends through April 5, 2022.
Speakers included Dr. Joy Waite-Cusic, Associate Professor Food Safety Systems from Oregon State University. Dr. Channah Rock, Professor and Water Quality Specialist from the University of Arizona and Dr. Linda Harris, Professor of Cooperative Extension in Microbial Food Safety from the University of California at Davis.
