Four months into its $100,000 yearlong federal grant, the Sprout Safety Alliance has a website and is recruiting people to help develop best practices materials for sprout growers.
Food and Drug Administration officials announced the alliance Feb. 28, saying it is similar to other public-private alliances for seafood, juice, produce and preventive controls set up by the agency. It created the Produce Safety Alliance in 2010 and the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance in 2011.
