The Salinas, Calif.-based California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement has published its latest annual report.

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. To put that into perspective, the LGMA audit has grown from around 300 checkpoints to more than 500.”
