About this episode

Dave Runsten speaks about how family farmers who are not producing leafy greens for the processing industry are being affected indirectly by extreme food safety metrics within the industry. Attorneys, insurance companies, and auditors have convinced most buyers such as food service companies and supermarkets that all such produce is dangerous, even though there is no evidence that whole leafy greens from family farms have seriously sickened or killed anyone. CAFF has been developing simplified food safety metrics that farmers can employ to defend themselves against unwarranted buyer demands.
