California’s agricultural bounty provides more than one-third of the country’s vegetables and nearly three-quarters of the nation’s fruits and nuts.
CDFA’s Inspection Services Division (ISD) helps ensure this bounty, as well as imported produce, meets safety and quality standards for California consumers year-round.
From food safety to chemical safety, fertilizer safety and more, ISD works to ensure food on the plate is safe for all Californians.
Check out the Inspection Services 2023 Annual Report for details about the amount of inspections conducted by the Avocado Inspection Program, Standardization Program and California Citrus Program.
The Inspection and Compliance Branch is part of CDFA’s Division of Inspection Services.
