GP Solutions, Inc. released test results showing lettuce grown in their systems to be free of dangerous pathogens. The tests were conducted by Midwest Laboratories in Nebraska, and show zero levels of Salmonella, Listeria, and E.coli. GP Solutions developed GrowPods so that farmers can grow ultra-pure, contaminant-free food. The company also operates its own units and provides its super clean food to local markets and stores. According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 48 million people get sick each year from food. Leafy greens are a chief culprit. GrowPods are controlled environment micro-farms with a sealed eco-system, purified air and water, and a pest-free environment that can eliminate pathogens. GrowPods offers farmers a high-margin niche to expand into, and gives consumers access to safe, tested, and nutritious "Super Foods.".
