The FDA has been working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), state agriculture departments, the Produce Safety Alliance and the Sprouts Safety Alliance, as well as others, to make sure there are numerous resources available for training, education and technical assistance to aid farmers with implementation of the Produce Safety rule. The agency is planning to use a number of approaches, including guidance documents, to give farmers the tools they need to comply with the new regulations. The agency recently released a training strategy to support compliance with the FSMA rules.
