What this means

Vital Foods LLC applied to sponsor 164 workers for green cards between 2018 and 2025. A green card application is what an employer files to help a worker stay in the U.S. permanently.

Their Employer trust score is 38 out of 100. This is a low score. The company files lots of applications for a small number of jobs, often at entry-level pay, and many of those approvals expire. This is an observation, not an accusation of wrongdoing.

Important: the Employer trust score is an algorithmic opinion based on public U.S. Department of Labor data. It is not a statement of fraud, wrongdoing, or hiring intent. It describes observable patterns only.
