Produce Safety Rule

The Produce Safety Rule is a guideline established by the FDA to ensure that fruits and vegetables are grown, harvested, and processed in ways that keep them safe for consumers. It sets standards for farm practices, such as worker hygiene, water quality, and soil management, to minimize contamination risks. This rule is part of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and aims to prevent foodborne illnesses by promoting safer farming practices. By following these rules, farms help ensure that the produce we eat is healthy and safe.
