\"ASpartanNash is proud to be the first food distributor and retailer in Michigan to sign Migrant Legal Aid\u2019s Fair Food Pledge,<\/strong><\/a> affirming our commitment to fair labor practices for the state\u2019s more than 94,000 migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families since 2016.<\/p>

The Fair Food Pledge exemplifies SpartanNash\u2019s commitment to corporate responsibility and upholding fair and equitable labor\u00a0standards for the treatment of farmworkers.<\/p>

SpartanNash distributes fresh produce from 250 Michigan farms to its nearly 200 company-operated stores and more than 2,300 independent retail locations, and we strive to run our business with integrity and accountability. Our customers purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at our stores and independent retailers every day, and we want them to know that as a company, we are committed to providing them with produce that has been harvested under safe and equitable working conditions.<\/p>

By signing the Michigan Fair Food Pledge, SpartanNash pledges to work in partnership with Migrant Legal Aid<\/strong> <\/a>when Michigan produce suppliers appear to be in violation of regulations requiring fair treatment and safe working conditions. This includes respecting the dignity of workers, treating them with fairness and equity and providing fair wages, access to bathrooms and drinking water and safe, clean housing.<\/p>

Michigan is the second-most agriculturally diverse state after California. Forty-five Michigan crops are hand harvested by migrant and seasonal farmworkers each year, including blueberries, tart cherries, apples and cucumbers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
