The Wegman Family Charitable Foundation presented a gift of 250,000 dollars to the Center for Produce Safety (CPS) during the second annual Produce Research Symposium this year. The gift will support CPS's competitive research grant programs, which work to explore more effective means of guaranteeing food safety. The Wegman Family Charitable Foundation is the product of supermarket chain Wegman Food Markets. CEO Danny Wegman stated: “"We are very enthusiastic about CPS's approach to creating a better understanding of fresh produce's food safety challenges, from fast tracking food safety research, to getting those results in the hands of the diverse community that affects produce safety." Wegman also noted that he hoped his donation would spur others to do the same, stating “Frankly, we hope our gift will prompt others to support CPS's very important efforts."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
