University of Florida Produce Safety

The University of Florida Produce Safety team provides workshops, trainings, and events for growers and food production workers across the State of Florida. These programs are designed to teach produce safety practices based on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs). With the changing landscape of food production, UF's produce safety team designs programs that address the needs of new, minority, and non-english speaking food production workers. With the incorporation of the latestest research, technology, and collaborations, these programs have been able to meet the needs of diverse populations throughout the Southern Region.
