The University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UCANR) is hosting a series of free monthly produce safety webinars August 19, 2025 – June 16, 2026. The lunchtime produce safety webinar series is noon to 2 p.m. Pacific Time on the third Tuesday of each month.

A guest speaker will join each webinar to provide a 1-1.5-hour presentation on food safety-related topics followed by questions from attendees and a general discussion.

These webinars will be held online via Zoom. The Zoom link will be the same each month and provided when you register. There will be no webinar in December. Webinars will be recorded and archived for on-demand access.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Produce Safety Program will be joining the UCANR team during the webinar on October 21, 2025, to present on the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule (PSR) inspection process, what to expect, and how to prepare for an inspection.
