AP—Good Agricultural Practices—have been in place on
farms for decades. When followed, these practices help keep
the food supply safe; when not followed, people get sick.

plummets. Worker safety is compromised.

had a firm set of rules before the COVID-19 pandemic. Frequent
inspections ensure rules are followed. Since early 2020, inspection
cycles at these sites appear to be increasing, and heightened
inspections raise all parties' expectations.
