As part of FPAA’s outreach, during PMA’s Fresh Summit Convention, Mexico Calidad Suprema organized a meeting for FPAA Foreign Affairs Director Georgina Felix  with a group of growers from Mexico to explain the food safety requirements that importers of fresh produce need from their growers in order to comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act. At the meeting it was also discussed the dates of compliance for produce consumed raw and rarely consumed raw, and the need to designate an FSVP importer for produce coming into the US.
