Requirements For Farms That Must Fully Comply With FSMA

Organic agricultural professionals and farmers are invited to join the CCOF Foundation and Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) for a series of webinars on how the new federal food safety regulations intersect with organic regulations. This second webinar will review part of the requirements for organic farms that must comply with FSMA. We will explain the FSMA requirements in the following areas: worker training/qualifications, worker health and hygiene, buildings, tools, equipment, harvest and postharvest, and recordkeeping. Organic certification does not require any worker training requirements so organic farms may need to make some significant changes to be in compliance with FSMA.
