Welcome to Colorado's Produce Safety Information Hub!

This web site provides Colorado’s fresh produce industry with food safety information under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law in 2011. CSU Extension, the Colorado Department of Agriculture and other organizations are partnering to help produce growers comply with FSMA and enhance the safety of produce grown on their farms.
