Is there any weed control products safe to use near fruit or vegetable garden?

I bought this property two years ago and crabgrass had already taken over. It was well-established and looked like previous owners made no effort of any kind to even slow down spread of crabgrass. Its out of control here. My previous house i was vigilant pulling it hoeing before it got established but here it is rampant growing everywhere. Is there any product safe to use around raspberry bushes, asparagus or other areas used for growing edibles? Here the crab grass is unchecked EVERYWHERE.

Answer:

Ferti-Lome Broadleaf Weed Control with Gallery cannot be applied to areas where edible vegetation may grow.  Monterey Vegetable and Ornamental Weeder is a pre emergent that can be applied to edible garden areas.  Monterey Grass Getter Herbicide can be used on crabgrass and other listed weeds that are actively growing.
