Produce exported from Mexico is subject to the same strict standards as produce grown in the U.S. In fact, Mexican produce is tested for safety by the Food and Drug Administration at a rate 900% higher than that of U.S. produce.
Mexican growers hold some of the most stringent food safety certifications in the world, including those based in the U.S. The certification process involves on-site inspections of fields and packinghouses. Third-party auditors also educate managers and workers on improved handling and growing practices, and sample products to determine if there are any detected pesticide residues or microbial contamination before it is shipped to the U.S.
