Discover why CFIA mandates 1500g lettuce testing for romaine imports from U.S. regions, how larger sample sizes improve detection of E. coli O157:H7, and the differences between pooling subsamples and direct 1500g testing methods. Learn key compliance, validation, and risk management considerations for growers, shippers, and buyers to ensure food safety and maintain market access.

There are many ways to sell and distribute authorized food packaging materials on the US market. One pathway for introducing new food contact substances to the U.S. market is by submitting a Food Contact Notification (FCN) to the FDA for premarket approval. Watch our webinar exploring the FDA’s authorization process for new food contact substances, focusing on migration testing and safety evaluation. Originally Aired on June 4, 2025

Food safety risks in fruit and vegetable processing environments can come from many different sources. Agricultural items are inherently dirty products, which can introduce risk- including microbial pathogens- to a facility from the outside environment. If your Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) and sanitation programs are not sufficient to control these risks, these products could be potentially cross contaminating other products that are subsequently processed in the facility. It is therefore imperative that we think about risks from both our incoming products and our processes when designing environmental monitoring programs.

Nestled in the heart of California’s San Joaquin Valley, Fresno is a thriving agricultural hub renowned for its diverse produce, dairy farms, and food manufacturing operations. Strategically positioned within this bustling industry, Eurofins operates three specialized laboratories in Fresno, each dedicated to providing cutting-edge testing and support tailored to the region’s needs.

The southwest leafy green industry has once again completed its migration south and Eurofins Microbiology Laboratories Yuma is ready. This year the lab has upgraded to better support the industry.
