GAPs Online Produce Safety Course
The next English GAPs Online Produce Safety Course will begin on July 8, 2020 and run through July 28, 2020. The GAPs Online Produce Safety Course is not equivalent to the required supervisor training described in the FSMA Produce Safety Rule 21 CFR Subpart C § 112.22(c). This GAPs Online Produce Safety Training Course may, however, satisfy training requirements as described in the FSMA Produce Safety Rule in §§ 112.22(a) and (b).
The Produce Safety Alliance (PSA) website maintains a list of Upcoming Grower Training Courses that meets the requirement in § 112.22(c) of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule. There is an Online PSA Grower Training Course available if you need to meet the § 112.22(c) requirement.
We have additional GAPs Online Produce Safety Course sessions scheduled for 2020 on the following dates:
2 September running through 22 September, 2020
28 October running through 17 November, 2020
Taking this course will not result in your farm being "GAPs Certified". GAPs certification is done by a third party (e.g. USDA, Primus, Global GAP) and involves the successful completion of an on-farm audit. This course is intended to improve your understanding of GAPs to guide assessment of risks and implementation of practices to reduce risks on fresh produce farms.
