First pesticide-residue-free certification appears on lettuce labels
2013-10-15 PackagingDigest
Produce industry leader, Tanimura & Antle, has had its greenhouse grown butter lettuce independently certified as Pesticide Residue Free. Lettuce packages will feature a new certification mark alerting shoppers to this unique product benefit. Tanimura & Antle is the first to obtain this certification for greenhouse grown lettuce.
"Our greenhouse operation uses minimal controls in the growing cycle, as the growing environment is closed and generally pest free," according to Diana McClean, director of marketing for Tanimura & Antle. "This certification independently assures consumers that our greenhouse grown lettuce does not have pesticide residue."
The Pesticide Residue Free certification is conducted by Emeryville, California-based SCS Global Services (SCS), a third-party certifier of environmental, sustainability and food safety claims. The SCS assessment process screens for high risk pesticides, predicts critical stages in the spraying and harvesting cycle, and tests the final product to ensure that the produce is free of pesticide residues, based on the strict limit-of-detection standard of 0.01 ppm or less.
