About Our Sprout Safety Procedures:

Marjon® takes food safety very seriously. We want you to be aware of the safety precautions and procedures that are in place at Marjon®. We have a “Hold and Release” program used for all sprout production in the marketplace.
Marjon Sprout Safety Procedures

We require that the seed company furnish test results on each lot of seed prior to shipping that seed into our facility.
When we receive the tested seed lot we have that same lot re-tested by our outside testing laboratory
After we get verification that those seeds have tested negative, we then sanitize the seed with sodium-hypochlorite at 20,000 ppm per FDA guidelines, prior to planting.
Prior to harvesting the sprouts we collect spent-water irrigation samples from the growing sprouts and it is then tested for both Salmonella and Ecoli-0157:H7
The sprouts are not released for sale until the test results are confirmed negative.
