Folks:
I wanted to make you aware that the comment period on the revised Food Safety Modernization Act is now open until December 15. I have not reviewed the rules, but if you are interested in the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition's review and understanding of them, check out their website at http://sustainableagriculture.net/fsma/.
It will give you the background of the rules and let you see if you will be affected or not. I highly recommend that those of you engaged in direct marketing, or marketing of local foods to wholesale outlets, look through this website and dive into these rules more. Oregon State University's Center for Small Farms also has information, including how they commented on the first round of rules that were proposed in late 2013: http://smallfarms.oregonstate.edu/node/175900. The Organic Trade Association has comments here: http://www.organicnewsroom.com/2014/09/ota_encouraged_by_fda_revision.html.
As many of you know, Univ of Missouri and K-State have collaborated on an extension food safety specialist who can help answer questions that may arise for you. Her email is Londa Nwadike<http://extension.missouri.edu/directory/people.aspx?C=77880> FOOD SAFETY STATE SPECIALIST Email: lnwa...@k-state.edu<mailto:lnwa...@k-state.edu>
