1 GAP & GHP Good Agricultural Practices & Good Handling Practices Audit Verification Program Food Safety and Sanitation for Growers, Packers & Shippers of Fresh Fruits & Vegetables
2 A voluntary, audit-based program that verifies conformity to generally recognized good agricultural practices and good handling practices as based on established scientific principles: Food & Drug Administration s (FDA) guidance document entitled Guide to Minimize Microbial Food Safety Hazards for Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Published in October Because it is voluntary, the audit is only performed at the request of the auditee.
3
4 GAP & GHP The program does not guarantee the product is free from microbial contamination, but verifies the participant has taken proactive measures to reduce the risk of contamination by adhering to generally recognized best practices. The responsibility for product safety rests with the operation producing and handling the fresh product.
5 Participation Agreement Must be signed by auditee prior to audit Allow permission for auditor enter facility and access records. Ensures confidentiality Notifies auditee that there will be an unannounced audit to follow to verify procedures are still being followed if in operation more than 30 days.
6 Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Farm Review Field Harvesting/Field Packing Activities Good Handling Practices (GHP) House Packing Facility Storage & Transportation Wholesale Distribution/Terminal Warehouse
7 USDA Audit Scopes General Questions (All audits must begin with and pass this portion) Pt. 1 Farm Review Pt. 2 Field Harvest and Field Packing Pt. 3 House Packing Facility Pt. 4 Storage and Transportation Pt. 6 Wholesale Distribution Center/ Terminal Warehouses Pt. 7 Food Security (Pt. 7 Does not require General Questions)
8 Must have implemented a food safety program. Must have a designated person (s) to oversee implementation of program. An online tool to assist with the development of food safety plans. Food Safety Manual
9 AUTOMATIC UNSATISFACTORY CONDITIONS Answering NO to G-1 and/or G-2. -Not having a documented food safety program. -Having no one to oversee the food safety program. Falsification of Records Ex: Having temperature logs filled out ahead of time. The presence or evidence of rodents, an excessive amount of insects or other pests during packing, processing or storage. Ex: Evidence of infestation of rodents, birds or other mammal type pests or feces from various pests or animals in the production or storage area. Observation of employee practices (Personal or hygienic) that jeopardize or may jeopardize the safety of the produce. Ex: Employee not washing hands after using the restroom, disposing of used toilet paper on the floor or into containers in the toilet room, putting eaten or partially eaten product back into the product flow zone, spitting on produce or into produce flow zone. An immediate food safety risk is present when produce is grown, processed, packed or held under conditions that promote or cause the produce to become contaminated. Ex: Non-potable water used in the product washing process, leaky sewer pipes in the production or storage area.

15 The cost of the audit is based on the USDA rate of $92/hr. Includes: time on site, travel time, pre and post audit preparatory time. On average, the cost of an audit is between $700-$800 depending on the scope of the audit/acreage, etc.
16 GRANT FUNDS Water Analysis Cost Share Program Offers growers up to $200 credit towards the cost of water testing on irrigation and wash water used in the packing operation.
