Food safety is a difficult subject, because there are so many things that impact the safety of fresh produce. And today there's no single magic bullet that eliminates every possible danger. This is, after all, fresh produce that grows in the ground.

At organicgirl, we believe the very best way to give you the safest possible product is to pay extremely close attention to every single step from seed to your table, and to impose very rigid standards along the way.

For example, we work with every grower to inspect their fields prior to planting to be sure that all food safety risks have been managed properly. We set strict food safety guidelines for our growers and harvesters and we audit them throughout the growing season to be sure they follow food safety procedures to the letter. Finally, we do one last inspection at harvest to be sure the field and the crop have not been compromised in any way.

Before packaging the product, it is washed in state of the art wash flumes and dried with care to prevent bruising. These processes are highly controlled to help ensure food safety. Our washing and packaging processes are audited daily to verify adherence to comprehensive food safety practices that guarantee the safest products possible.
