Exploring Opportunities for Tennessee Department of Agriculture to Prepare to Implement FDA Rule: Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, & Holding of Produce for Human Consumption Project Summary FDA's Regulation “Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human Consumption” (Produce Safety Rule) offer science-based minimum food safety standards for the growing, harvesting, packing, and holding of produce, meaning fruits and vegetables grown for human consumption. As the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) has not previously administered a produce regulatory program of this kind, the infrastructure to do so must be developed. TDA has therefore proposed to add a dedicated Produce Specialist, Legal Counsel, and two field Produce Inspectors to existing staff resources to develop a produce farm inventory, regulatory foundation and a comprehensive inspection, compliance and enforcement program. TDA is also proposing a partnership with the University of Tennessee, Institute of Agriculture (UTIA) as a subawardee of this project to assist TDA in developing a strong education and outreach program, to educate and provide technical assistance to producers as well as training programs for regulatory field staff. TDA intends to use these resources to conduct preliminary research as to the current status of the produce industry in Tennessee, including how many farms and what types of produce operations are in place. A legal review comparing current state rules and regulations to the requirements of the Produce Safety Rule to identify gaps in requirements, and given the findings of industry research, develop a regulatory foundation to support a state Produce Safety regulatory program in support of the federal rule. The UTIA partnership will help TDA ensure that regulatory requirements achieve their goals of reducing foodborne illness risks to the public. The UTIA education and outreach program will assist producers in achieving compliance with requirements given their operational needs to maintain production. It expected all of these components will be necessary to build a robust produce safety system that will be sustainable beyond the life of the cooperative agreement project.

探索田纳西州农业部准备实施FDA规则的机会： 人类消费产品的种植、收获、包装和保存标准 项目摘要 美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）的法规“人类产品的种植、收获、包装和保存标准” 消费”（生产安全规则）为日益增长的， 收获、包装和保存农产品，即供人类消费的水果和蔬菜。作为 田纳西州农业部（TDA）以前没有管理过农产品监管计划 因此，必须发展这样做的基础设施。因此，贸易发展署建议增设一个 生产专家、法律的顾问和两名现场生产检查员，以现有的工作人员资源制定 生产农场库存，监管基础和全面检查，合规和执法 程序. TDA还提议与田纳西大学农业研究所（UTIA）建立合作伙伴关系 作为该项目的次级获奖者，协助TDA制定强有力的教育和推广计划， 向生产者提供教育和技术援助，并为监管领域的工作人员提供培训方案。 TDA打算利用这些资源对产品的现状进行初步研究 工业在田纳西州，包括有多少农场和什么类型的生产业务到位。一个法律的 审查现行国家法规和规章与《生产安全规则》的要求的比较，以确定 要求的差距，并考虑到行业研究的结果，制定一个监管基础，以支持 支持联邦法规的州生产安全监管计划。UTIA合作伙伴关系将帮助TDA 确保监管要求实现减少公众食源性疾病风险的目标。的 UTIA教育和外展计划将帮助生产商遵守给定的要求 维持生产的运营需求。它预计所有这些组件都是建立一个 在合作协议项目结束后可持续的强有力的生产安全系统。
