The IFSTL trains scientists to understand methods of food testing for compliance with regulatory standards. The Lab is self-sustaining, funded through student fees. Training is delivered by experts from FDA, other U.S. federal agencies, JIFSAN and university scientists. State-of-the-art equipment is used to train on validated methods. The students detect, confirm and quantitate chemical contaminants, toxins and pathogenic microorganisms. Approximately 200 professionals per year are expected to participate in the self-supporting program. In June the IFSTL hosted a pilot class with representatives from Central and South America to help meet training requirements established in the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement.
