FDA grants to test food for radioactivity

News Archive

The Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded three laboratory grants to strengthen testing of food for radioactive materials, whether from accidental contamination or deliberate attack.

The three laboratories are part of the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN). Each grant lasts three years and is worth $250,000 a year, covering testing supplies and staff training, as the FDA expands its food safety testing to guard against radiological incidents.
