Primary Production and Processing Standards for Berries, Melons and Leafy Vegetables (Australia) Toolkit
FPSC has created a dedicated page to provide producers of berries, melons and leafy vegetables with easy access to essential food safety resources. This dedicated webpage houses useful information including an overview of FPSC support services and resources available, the Horticulture Food Safety Initiative (HFSI) in improving fresh produce food safety, and the new Primary Production and Processing (PPP) standards for melons, berries and leafy vegetables in Australia. By sharing this information as a toolkit, we aim to support growers understanding and meeting regulatory and industry food safety requirements, ensuring compliance and best practice across the fresh produce sector.
For technical support or further assistance, growers can also contact us through our FREE Help Desk
