Save\u00a0the date for a western states webinar 10-11 a.m. (PST) March 11 on a revision proposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to Subpart E of its Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule that would change the pre-harvest agricultural water requirements for covered produce (other than sprouts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The webinar is co-hosted by the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) and California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) for the western states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDA\u2019s proposed revision<\/a>, for which FDA developed an Agricultural Water Assessment Fact Sheet<\/a>, is intended to address stakeholder concerns about the complexity and practical implementation of certain pre-harvest agricultural water requirements. The proposed revision does not change requirements for agricultural water used during and after harvest, or for sprouts. If enacted as proposed, the revision would introduce a systems-based, pre-harvest agricultural water assessment to evaluate potential hazards and guide risk management decision-making on the farm. Public comments about the FDA\u2019s proposed revision may be submitted via the Federal Register<\/a> until April 5, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the webinar, CDFA Secretary Karen Ross will give opening remarks, then a subject matter expert from FDA will provide a brief overview of the proposed revision. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask FDA officials questions about the proposed revision. In California, the Produce Safety Rule is regulated on FDA\u2019s behalf by the CDFA\u00a0Produce Safety Program<\/a>.\u00a0Questions may be shared with presenters and hosts ahead of the webinar by submitting them to\u00a0producesafety@cdfa.ca.gov<\/a>. Visit\u00a0https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/WesternProposedAgWater<\/a>\u00a0to receive login instructions for the March 11 webinar. Participation is limited to 500 people on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
