Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) Produce Safety Program Survey
Your produce farm may be subject to the FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act - Produce Safety Rule. This new rule helps farmers reduce the risk of food contamination from pathogens like E.coli, Listeria and Salmonella to protect their businesses and customers. The rule establishes science-based minimum standards for the safe growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce grown for human consumption. HDOA is participating in a cooperative agreement program with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to help Hawaii farmers prepare for and comply with the rule. Completing this survey will allow the HDOA Produce Safety Program team to help determine if this rule applies to your farm and to better assist you by providing educational outreach material and other useful information.
