Project Description: We intend to continue the implementation the FDA’s Produce Safety Rule within Delaware by choosing program Path B. Continuing the success of this project will be an effort through the Delaware Department of Agriculture along with the help of the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension, Delaware State University Cooperative Extension, Delaware Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association, as well as state agencies and extension in the neighboring states. This plan will include education and training for produce farmers covered under the rule, as well as a regulatory program which will include regulator training. Project Goals: The project will develop a project plan for alignment of Delaware Department of Agriculture’s regulations and activities with FDA’s Produce Safety Rule. Goals include improving farm registration of covered produce farms, improving documentation, conducting routine produce safety inspections providing farmers with education of, and training on, the Produce Safety Rule, completing an assessment of Delaware Department of Agriculture’s regulatory authority for produce safety and the resources needed to continue a successful program.
