The FNS Office of Food Safety supports child nutrition professionals with educational resources to promote and improve produce safety practices in their operations. These resources, as well as information about Produce Safety University, or PSU, can be found here.

What is Produce Safety University?

PSU is a one-week training course designed to help school foodservice staff identify and manage food safety risks associated with fresh produce. PSU addresses produce purchased from traditional suppliers, direct from farmers, and through the DoD Fresh program.

The course was developed by USDA’s FNS and Agricultural Marketing Service. Click the button below to find materials to train others on topics taught in PSU.

Produce Safety University is highly anticipated each year by child nutrition professionals, state agency staff, and others who administer federally funded child nutrition programs. Our participants enjoy the course for many reasons, one of which being the incredible training team who delivers PSU each year.
