Dec 4, 2024
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is holding a Produce Safety Alliance Training on 4 December 2024 in Orem, UT from 9am – 5pm. This training is to help farms that are required under the Produce Safety Rule to satisfy the requirements of §112.22(c). At least one member of your farm must have completed this course for all covered farms. If your farm is not covered (exempt) or qualified exempt you will not need to attend this course, but are welcome to attend if you desire. However if you are intending to grow your farm and look for other outlets to sell your produce and you become covered, you will need this class. It is also very valuable to help you recognize critical control points within your farm in order to keep the produce you grow safe for consumption. UDAF offers this course once per year free to those who attend. It is also available online through the Produce Safety Alliance website at $450.00. The training is good for the life of the person taking the course and does not have to be renewed.
To find out the status of your farm, please use the "Exemption Tool' on UDAFs produce safety website.
