Collapse ▲FDA has set tiered compliance dates for “covered farms” ( farms that are not exempt or not covered by the PS Rule) based on sales volume. Covered farms must comply with specific provisions under the Produce Safety Rule.
A farm under the Produce Safety Rule can be considered a“very small business” or a “small business” or “all other businesses”.

Very small businesses (>$25K-$250K produce sales) |
Small businesses (>$250K-$500K produce sales) |
All other businesses (>$500K produce sales) |
| For most provisions in the PS Rule | 1/27/2020 | 1/28/2019 | 1/26/2018 |
| For water related regulations outlined in the PS Rule | 1/26/2024 | 1/26/2023 | 1/26/2022 |
| Sprouts | 1/28/2019 | 1/26/2018 | 1/26/2017 |
