Cornell Vegetable Program

Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) are the steps taken in produce packing areas to reduce microbial contamination. The Cornell Vegetable Program is proud to release a new video that shows produce growers standard operating procedures for using a germicidal bleach in a produce washing station. Watch the video now!

This video was developed by the Cornell Vegetable Program and Harvest New York with support from the USDA and the Northeast Center for Risk Management Education.
