DEVELOPMENT OF AN ALTERNATIVE FSMA COMPLIANT PRODUCE SAFETY CURRICULUM FOR PLAIN SECT AND OTHER SMALLER FRESH PRODUCE GROWERS

This project will develop a farm food safety learning curriculum specifically adapted for the unique learning styles of plain sect (Amish, Mennonite) growers of fresh produce. Because many will be affected by food safety new regulations under the Food Safety Modernization Act, our efforts will help maintain the safety of the foods they produce and allow them to remain competitive within the fresh produce industry.
