SALINAS, CA – Church Brothers and its processing arm, True Leaf Farms, continues to take a leadership role in the food safety arena with a pledge of $125,000 in support of the Center for Produce Safety’s (CPS) campaign for produce safety.
The Center for Produce Safety is a collaborative partnership that leverages the combined expertise of industry, government and the scientific and academic communities to focus on providing research needed to continually enhance food safety.
Church Brothers is also adding to its food safety commitment by taking on two new industry appointments: Drew McDonald, Church Brothers vice president of quality food safety and regulatory affairs, was nominated as incoming chair of the CPS technical committee and vice chair of the United Food Safety, Quality and Technology Council. McDonald spent 21 years in the leafy greens industry working on both the supply and buying sides of the business. He is well known for sharing his insight into creating a culture of food safety via an LGMA digital series.
Company CEO Steve Church, who is treasurer of the Leafy Greens Marketing Association, said, “Safety for our products and our people is a key value at Church Brothers and True Leaf Farms; we believe in funding research that supports a safe, food supply chain. We support CPS in its campaign and are proud to have Drew be part of the effort.”
