CA Leafy Greens Marketing Agreements (LGMA)
The grocery stores, restaurants and distributors who sell leafy greens have a simple way to provide assurance that lettuce and leafy greens they sell are farmed and harvested using science-based food safety practices – by requiring that their suppliers are LGMA certified.
LGMA members are audited an average of five times throughout each year to verify their compliance with a set of science-based food safety practices that also meet and exceed FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety Rule.
LGMA members are companies who are committed to safe leafy greens products. Working with hundreds of farmers throughout California and Arizona, LGMA members produce approximately 90% of the leafy greens grown in the U.S. – that adds up to over 50 billion servings of leafy greens each year.
