In the report, the LGMA provides its certified member list and audit and citation data, according to a news release, and provides a summary of changes to the organization’s food safety standards.
“The last several years have brought a lot of change to the LGMA food safety standards,” Tim York, CEO of the group, said in the release. “These changes include updates to address the Food Safety Modernization Act’s Produce Safety Rule, updates to incorporate outbreak investigation findings, and new approaches to water quality as well as soil amendments and crop inputs.
