Here's a good definition of cut leafy greens from
Leafy greens that have only been cut from their root in the field (this is sometimes called a “harvest cut”) with no additional cutting, shredding, slicing, chopping, or tearing are not cut leafy greens;
Leafy greens that simply have the stem, stalk, or the butt of the core trimmed are not cut leafy greens. This would apply to heads of lettuce and cabbages or whole clumps of leaf lettuce or spinach, for example. In all cases, the exterior leaves may be discarded.
If the core of a head of lettuce or cabbage is completely removed then the remaining leaves are cut leafy greens. But the entire plant harvested from the field would not be a cut leafy green.
If exterior leaves are removed and discarded, the head or clump is still not a cut leafy green. But if someone is snipping or tearing leaves off one by one to use as food (and the core of head lettuce or cabbage is still intact), the snipped or torn leaves are a cut leafy green. However, the remaining head or clump is not a cut leafy green.

In Ohio the cut type leads into processing. We design systems that are single cut AKA Harvest cut. So our salad mixes are very simple. We cut high. Lots of issues there POSSIBLY in the future but most of it all happens AFTER the first cut. Then there is how you package it. Bag open and OK. Bag closed and its processed.Same thing in NY, as near as I can tell.-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I thinkFresh-market organic produce, small scale
