The California Shipping Point (SPI) program is part of the nationwide fresh fruit and vegetable inspection program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It exists under a cooperative agreement/contract with the California Department of Food and Agriculture. State employed inspectors are authorized to make inspections on the basis of US grade standards or other written government or private specifications for fresh products, including certificates showing how the products measure up to the official grades or other State or Private specifications.
