Vermont & NEASDA Listening Session for Supplemental Proposed Rules to Federal Food Safety Law

Sponsored, in part, by the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets, in conjunction with the Northeast Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NEASDA), will be joined by FDA officials for an open Listening Session on November 17th, 2014, to offer farmers and food processors an opportunity to provide comment on new supplemental rules proposed by the federal Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Attendees will have opportunities to both learn and ask questions of FDA during the listening session, which will take place from 9:00am – 1:00pm in the Chase Center located at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton, VT. While oriented towards regional farmers and food processors specifically, this listening session is open to all interested parties from across the northeast.
