August 04, 2021 - Plymouth Meeting, PA
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding was joined by Senator Amanda Cappelletti and Representative Mary Jo Daley at Maple Acres Farm in Montgomery County to highlight the partnership between the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Pennsylvania Farmers Union, and farmers across the state to keep locally grown produce safe for consumers."Fresh produce is an important part of a healthy diet," said Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. "But without farmers taking care on the farm to implement science-based controls to ensure the safety of produce, consumers are at risk for contracting foodborne illness."Through voluntary on-farm readiness reviews with our Bureau of Food Safety, Pennsylvania's farmers are doing their part, taking proactive initiative, to ensure the health and safety of their product for Pennsylvanians."
