ABOUT US
The California Cantaloupe Advisory board represents a commitment to the highest level of safety and quality for all cantaloupe consumers.
The organization is comprised of all producers of cantaloupes in the state and operates the only mandatory food safety program in the U.S. produce industry that invites government auditors to inspect all aspects of cantaloupe operations.
The California Cantaloupe Advisory Board (CCAB) was formed in 1988 and is headquartered in Dinuba, California. The Board operates under a State “Handler” Marketing Order and falls under the direction and authority of the Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).
Board members are elected by the industry to direct the organization’s activities. Funding for these activities comes from a per box assessment paid on each box of cantaloupe the handler member produces in the State.
From 1988 until 2012, CCAB assessments were used to pay for research, promotion and quality assurance. In 2012, all state handlers unanimously approved expansion of the Program to include mandatory compliance with science-based food safety practices and verified by CDFA auditors.
