Active scope records
26

These records come from FDA’s LAAF laboratory and scope exports. LAAF covers specified food-testing circumstances. Accreditation applies to the listed methods and matrices; it does not establish every service a lab offers or acceptance by Amazon.

External-client availability is unknown. Some laboratories may serve their own company. Confirm that the location accepts your samples and that your product, analytes and required methods fall within its current scope.
