Understanding how to comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)’s Produce Safety Rule can be challenging for hydroponics and aquaponics producers. In response to an identified need for more tailored resources for this industry, the Northeast Center to Advance Food Safety (NECAFS) developed a set of five factsheets on the following topics: 

  • Cleaning and sanitizing 
  • Fish health and handling 
  • Harvest and postharvest handling
  • Personal health and hygiene 

The fact sheets are available online now for download.  For more information, contact Elisabeth at eh528@cornell.edu.
