After nearly 10 months of international collaboration between stakeholders, researchers and government officials in both the US and Mexico – the Texas International Produce Association (TIPA) and United Fresh Produce Association (UFPA) are pleased to announce the release of the  “Food Safety Best Practices Guide for the Growing & Handling of Mexican Papaya, First Edition.”

Papaya Food Safety Work Continues

TIPA, in collaboration with ProExport Papayas, and Industry, maintains its commitment to enhancing food safety standards for papayas cultivated and harvested in Mexico. You can access a range of documents below that have been crafted to provide insight into the cultivation and harvesting practices of Mexican papayas, benefiting both the papaya industry, papaya purchasers, and consumers.
