Sorting lettuce and other leafy greens

Food safety is a major concern in producing lettuce and other leafy greens for ready-to-eat salads. The presence of foreign materials or insects can lead to product recalls; toxic weeds and microbial contamination, such as E.coli, can harm public health and brand reputations. But effective countermeasures are available to ensure the quality of your processing line.
