We are pleased to share the initial findings from a multi-year environmental study on California’s Central Coast, conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This research reinforces the effectiveness of the food safety practices required by the California LGMA and provides valuable data to further strengthen our program.
Two Years of Pathogen Test Results will be Aggregated and Analyzed to Advance Food Safety
