Adequate Quality Water


The determination of adequate quality water is based on its use, where adequate quality water for one purpose is not necessarily adequate for another purpose:

  1. Where the water does not become a component of the fresh-cut produce, adequate quality refers to water that is safe and sanitary, at suitable temperatures, and under pressure as needed for all uses; and
  2. Where the water is used in a manner such that it may become a component of the fresh-cut produce (e.g., when such water contacts components, fresh-cut produce, or any contact surface), adequate quality water refers to water that complies with applicable Federal, State, and local requirements.
