Has FDA conducted outreach/education activities regarding fresh produce safety?
FDA has the lead for foreign GAPs education/outreach and has been working with a number of food safety partners in other countries, and in the U.S., on a variety of programs targeted at the safety of fresh produce. FDA’s produce safety action plan, instituted in 2004 and ongoing, contains four main objectives and many specific milestones to address produce safety, including outreach and education activities. Additionally, FDA has been distributing information materials in English and Spanish on the safe handling of raw produce and fruit and vegetable juices to health educators and state and local health agencies. FDA in conjunction with the Produce Marketing Association and the Partnership for Food Safety Education developed a multi-faceted national produce handling education campaign. Launched two years ago, this education program utilizes the media, food safety advocates and Partnership members to communicate safe handling recommendations about produce to consumers.
