The Details

BISMARCK — The North Dakota Department of Agriculture is partnering with the North Central Regional Center for Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Training, Extension and Technical Assistance to offer free remote Produce Safety Alliance (PSA) Grower Trainings.

“North Dakota growers will have access to valuable produce safety education,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “Attending a session will satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement that requires at least one supervisor or responsible party on a farm to complete food safety training recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.”

Courses are free for North Dakota growers. All courses are held remotely, so participants must have an internet connection to take the training. Participants are required to have their camera on and engage throughout the course to receive their certificate of completion.
