Hear an overview on the Produce Safety Rule and draft guidance to understand the current regulatory framework and requirements associated with the use of Biological Soil Amendments of Animal Origin (BSAAO) for covered produce on covered farms. The intent is to help regulated growers understand how to comply with the current requirements, update on the status of BSAAO Risk Assessment, associated research, and discuss what it means for the possible future of Subpart F provisions for the use of untreated BSAAO on covered farms.
Target Audience
Cooperative Extension, Regulatory Groups, Academia, Composting and other BSAAO industry members that will be selling/providing treated BSAAO to growers.
This workshop will be of interest to 3rd party BSAAO suppliers, composters or other groups that provide treated BSAAO to growers that are regulated under the PSR. Depending on their application needs, growers may soon be asking for certain documentation associated with these treated BSAAOs.
