Irrigation Water Regulations, Traceability, and Recall: Info for Produce Farmers Concerning FSMA

February 22, 2016


This meeting will provide information and answers to questions on several of the more complicated sections of the new FSMA regulations going into effect for produce growers. There will be a focus on irrigation water and what is required for testing your water sources, record keeping, how to set up a meaningful traceability program, and how to conduct a recall.

Focus on irrigation water will include:
• What's required for testing for wells and surface water sources?
• How many tests, how often, when to take them and how to take them?
• Interpretation of results
• How to set up an irrigation water test result profile and what it means
• What are the regulations for contamination levels?
• What to do if a water sample fails?
Presented by the Cornell Vegetable Program, the Cornell Produce Safety Alliance, and Cornell Cooperative Extension.
