FDA's Lab Accreditation Final Rule: Food Testing Oversight is Finally Here

FDA's final rule on lab accreditation for food testing provides essential directives for quality standards and assurances
Robin E. Stombler
February 16, 2022

Today's food laboratories remain largely free of regulatory oversight. That is about to change with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) issuance of a final rule establishing a program for the testing of food, in certain circumstances, by accredited laboratories. Not only does this final rule provide specific quality standards and assurances to a segment of food testing, but it also opens the door for all laboratories to adhere to these essential elements.

How WGS Continues to Change Food Safety

Whole genome sequencing is helping identify the root cause of more foodborne illness outbreaks
Bob Ferguson
February 16, 2022

This column will expand on the findings of the FDA study of the economic evaluation of the GenomeTrakr whole genome sequencing (WGS) program, adding data on the use of sequencing and how it will continue to change food safety practices and markets. It will also discuss what FDA is doing with GenomeTrackr to uncover previously unseen outbreaks and how this is keeping pressure on processors to expand environmental monitoring and controls.
