FDACS inspects all fresh tomato packinghouses and farms to ensure compliance with food safety regulations. We also inspect fresh produce not covered by regulation on a request basis in support of outside entities, export laws and commercial requirements.

We license all citrus dealers, registrants and agents of licensed fruit dealers, packinghouses and processing plants.
