FARIBAULT, Minn., April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire – Living Greens Farm (“LGF”), the largest vertical, indoor aeroponic farm in the U.S. that provides year-round fresh salads, microgreens and herbs, announces steps and procedures added to its already super-clean standards to block COVID-19 from its operation. Because LGF grows crops indoors the health risks most traditional farms face are virtually eliminated, resulting in the highest standards in food safety. Beyond that, LGF follows GAP (Good Agriculture Practices) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines to ensure that all vegetables are produced, packed, handled and stored as safely as possible to minimize risks of food safety hazards.
GAPs and GMPs are sets of rules and guidelines that cover everything from a building structure itself to personal hygiene and clothing standards for employees. These practices are enforced by the FDA, USDA and Primus, LGF’s third-party certification body. LGF voluntarily commits to an annual audit by Primus as well as the possibility of a surprise audit at any time. This is done to show that LGF is always following GAP and GMP guidelines.
Specific GAP and GMP rules and guidelines that impact LGF:
Before COVID-19 existed, LGF already had strict food safety processes in place:
Now that COVID concerns are top of mind, LGF has added extra precautions:
LGF’s farming methods and business model already provided the environment and consumer the benefits of less water usage, less space used, higher food nutrition/quality, and the elimination of pesticides and herbicides. To these benefits can be added super cleanliness and the assurance that Living Greens Farm is taking every precaution to keep COVID-19 out!
