The Maine Department of Agriculture has issued a press release describing the upcoming transition to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) by the federal government and how it might affect food producers here in Maine.

There will also be an FSMA overview session during the Dairy Sanitation Workshop being put on by Cooperative Extension in Orono on June 1st. Click the link for information on how to register for this workshop (Guild members will receive a 50% discount on their registration fee).
