Fresh Kist is compliant with GAPs (Good Agricultural Practices), the LGMA (Leafy Greens Marketing Act) food safety practices, the Federal COOL rules (Country of Origin Labeling) and meet the high standards of our customers and growers. Those standards are tested repeatedly throughout the growing season through:
* Annual ranch, harvest and cooler third party audits, performed by Primus Labs
* Multiple LGMA audits throughout the year, including each grower and harvester
* Periodic unannounced audits by the LGMA
* Customer audits and additional customer documentation
We undergo annual Primus audits for each region's facilities, ranches and crews, with almost all meeting the GFSI standard.
