Arizona Leafy Greens Food Safety Committee

The Arizona Leafy Greens Food Safety Committee (Arizona LGMA) is a collaborative partnership of Arizona shippers and growers dedicated to protecting public health by reducing food safety risks. Established in 2007, the committee operates as a marketing agreement under the Arizona Department of Agriculture, implementing rigorous, science-based food safety standards.

The organization focuses on continuous improvement through education, research, and the evolution of safety protocols to maintain consumer confidence in Arizona's agricultural products.
