Food Safety Audits
Audits are how the California LGMA verifies that our members are using the LGMA Food Safety Standards in their growing and harvesting operations. The goal of the LGMA program is to conduct a scheduled audit of every member minimally three times per year, with one of the audits being unannounced.
Members may have more audits depending on compliance and unique growing operations. All audits are conducted by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, with oversight from the United States Department of Agriculture.
