T
he food safety initiatives of the
Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable
Growers (OGVG) have gained a
global audience.
An impressive two-minute video
has been posted on the widely
popular YouTube Internet site
(www.youtube.com). It was produced
by University of Guelph agricultural
communication students,
with support from the OGVG and
The Ontario Greenhouse Alliance.
The OGVG has led a growerdriven
food safety program since
1998 and was the first group to
regulate food safety in North
America.
The OGVG believes it is not
only important to grow, pack and
market safe produce – it is also
important to prove it and be
verified by an accredited third
party audit firm to ensure that
growers, packers and marketers
are following important food
safety standards.
If they do not
pass their yearly audit, they will
no longer be licensed to grow,
pack or market Ontario
greenhouse vegetables.
