Greenhouse Grower reached out to four major indoor growers of leafy greens to ask about what they learned from the E. coli outbreak in romaine lettuce in November.

Food safety scares, such as in the case of the past year’s troubles with E. coli outbreaks in romaine lettuce, continue to cause issues in the food supply. And consumers just aren’t tolerating it anymore.

In the wake of the romaine lettuce recall, Square Roots, a Brooklyn, NY-based vertical farm with famous co-founders, has launched new labeling allowing consumers to access their food’s full backstory with a simple scan.

Following the recent E. coli outbreak on romaine lettuce, indoor leafy greens producers outside the contamination zone implored regulators to narrow ban to specified affected areas.

In light of numerous recent food safety recalls, greenhouse leafy greens producers assure consumers their products are safely grown in a controlled environment.

Greenhouse vegetables are a potentially lucrative market for ornamental growers, but food safety is a constant risk. Here’s a step-by-step plan for addressing food safety concerns.

The FSMA Wizard from Registrar Corp makes it easy for food producers, including greenhouse vegetable growers, to determine their possible requirements under the Food Safety Modernization Act.

The new certification program is designed to help small and mid-size growers, including greenhouse vegetable producers, comply with new food safety regulations.

While the new rule from FDA has many exemptions that will likely apply to greenhouse growers, the reality is that buyers may still require strict adherence to food safety standards.
