The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Produce Safety Program (PSP) announces the development of a new digital pathway for fresh produce farmers in California to access their own Produce Safety Rule inspection records and produce safety resources online.
Starting in late 2024, California fresh produce farmers will be able to log into a new cloud-based PSP farm data repository website to view their own farm information and have on-demand access to their digital produce safety inspection reports related to their own farms.
In addition, the PSP farm data repository website will provide resources to support on-farm compliance with the requirements of the federal Food Safety Modernization Act’s Produce Safety Rule and provide a convenient way for California farmers to connect with PSP staff. The new technology will also allow the Produce Safety Program to focus inspection efforts based on food safety risk factors to help ensure a safe and quality food supply for all consumers.
