FDA has announced that they will hold two public meetings on proposed regulations that would change standards for managing and monitoring contamination hazards in agricultural water. FDA had previously released regulations on this subject as part of the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act. In response to concerns about the complexity and implementation difficulty of the current agricultural water requirements, FDA issued the new proposed rule with the stated goal of making the requirements less onerous. Additional information about the proposed rule is available at this address.
