Summary

[edit]
Description

FDA research scientists like Dr. Jonathan Deeds are working to assure that U.S. seafood is both safe and accurately labeled. DNA from fish such as this paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) are being used as part of a new testing program to enforce the accurate labeling of seafood sold in the U.S. Hundreds of FDA scientists are working to develop the tools needed to keep bacterial and chemical contaminants out of the food supply, and to rapidly identify the disease-causing bacteria that do infiltrate foods and cause outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. Among them are the researchers at FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), in College Park, Md.
