Tiro Tres Farms, a spinach and leafy greens producer in Texas, is grappling with the challenges and costs of increased food safety regulations. The family-owned farm, which has been in operation for a century, has seen a surge in regulations and customer-specific requirements, including testing for E. coli, salmonella, and STEC. These regulations, designed to ensure food safety, require thorough documentation and frequent audits, adding complexity and expense to the farming operation. The Ritchie family, particularly daughter Paige who manages food safety compliance, is dedicated to meeting these standards but faces challenges in keeping up with the rapidly changing regulations and the financial strain they cause.
