Bonduelle Fresh Americas institutes agricultural water safety plans for 2019 California growing season
Bonduelle Fresh Americas’ food safety team assessed its growing fields, focusing on water sources, distribution systems, irrigation methods, treatment methods and other important aspects of its growers' agricultural irrigation systems.
Bonduelle Fresh Americas, an Irwindale, Calif.-based subsidiary of Bonduelle, France, initiated a plan with its growers to ensure the safety of its leafy greens supply through the 2019 California growing season, effective May 1.
"Safety has always been our highest priority, and Bonduelle Fresh Americas continues to be committed to delivering the safe, fresh and healthy products our customers and consumers have come to expect from us," says Mary Thompson, chief executive officer. "Since Day 1, we have been a part of the initiative to heighten agricultural water standards, and truly believe it is critical to do so as soon as possible to protect our leafy greens supply from possible agricultural water contamination."
