Regards to the list,
This is posted on the Farmers Market Management Network, Inc. website
which is "Working cooperatively to enhance Ohio farmers’ markets both large and small to create unity, consistency, and sustainability through collaboration and education."
Earlier this week it was brought to our attention that a vendor in Lake County [OHIO] was cited by the local board of health for selling “washed” vegetables and greens. The local health department official was enforcing a new interpretation of food safety rules that assumed washing greens with water was “food processing” and a farmer who was not a licensed “processor” washing them was making an “adulterated” (unsafe) product. The following article was brought to our attention: http://wholefoodusa.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/alert-ohio-farm-food-and-health-alert/
I thought this was interesting and disturbing, to say the least. Could this be a taste of what is coming, with all the new regulations in the pipeline and a zillion new bureaucrats who are unfamiliar with any type of farming operation? I hope not!
