In a Sept. 11 report from Jennifer McEntire, vice president of Food Safety & Technology at United Fresh Produce Association comes word of news from the FDA on ag water testing re” EPA method 1603.
Jennifer provided a link, which we’re also providing, that lists several methods the FDA has determined to be “equivalent” to the EPA method.
“While this may not address all issues related to water testing in the rule, it does provide sorely needed options pertaining to the method of analysis,” she wrote.
“FDA has determined that the following methods are ‘scientifically valid’ and ‘at least equivalent to the method of analysis in § 112.151(a) in accuracy, precision, and sensitivity.’”
