Center for Produce Safety Raises $5 Million Towards $15 Million Financing Goal
The Center for Produce Safety (CPS) is already $5 million richer towards its $15 million financial goal, which will be used for produce-specific food safety research, and to transfer these research findings to industry, government, and other stakeholders. This will take place during the next five years.
Taylor Farms and Western Growers, two organizations in the fresh produce industry, are each donating $1 million to the project. CPS has stated that the money will go towards the group's work to fund science, find solutions, and fuel change in fresh produce food safety.
