The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates that foodborne illness cost $15.6 billion each year. Food safety is a priority for all involved in the food supply chain domestically and globally. Stakeholders have developed responses and tools to prevent food contamination. These tools include the private accredited voluntary standards recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) through their benchmarking process and government regulations. QCS offers a number of GLOBAL G.A.P. certifications as well as the FDA-Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP).

You can access free webinars and podcasts created by Florida Organic Growers at their Food Safety for Farmers website.

For specific questions about FSMA, please contact the Federal Drug Administration directly at their Technical Assistance Network.
