Our Growers & Field Testing
We have committed partners across the U.S.–growers are GAP and USDA Organic certified. Our qualification program limits risk of physical, chemical or biological hazard in the handling of raw materials.
Our greens are pre-screened for microbiological hazards via pathogen testing conducted by certified third-party laboratories.
