Press Releases at EMSL

Cinnaminson,  NJ, November 17^th, 2017

EMSL Analytical, Inc. is proud to announce its partnership with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the University of Maryland’s Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN). EMSL has joined JIFSAN’s industry advisory council, which is made up of key industry experts who advise the JIFSAN Director on current food safety issues.  

EMSL continues to partner with best in practice organizations within the Food Safety arena, such as JIFSAN. Established in 1996, JIFSAN is a jointly administered, multidisciplinary research, education and outreach program. It fosters the missions of the FDA and University of Maryland through partnerships that provide a solid research focused foundation for sound public policy.

JIFSAN’s mission is to advance sound strategies to improve public health, food safety and applied nutrition using risk analysis principles through cooperative research, education and outreach programs. Their vision is to be the premier source of scientific information and education programs on Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, reducing the incidence of food-related illness. Many of the risk analysis tools can be found at: www.foodrisk.org.

EMSL has a robust, 35 year history of providing analytical laboratory results with client needs at the forefront. As a result, when clients requested food testing services a decade ago, EMSL staff worked to immediately embrace this recommendation and has since developed nine food testing locations in North America. 

EMSL’s food testing laboratories are highly qualified, holding accreditations from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) in microbiology and chemistry, certifications from individual state programs as well as a certificate from the American Proficiency Institute (API) for food. The food testing lab is capable of performing a variety of other analyses, including food microbiology, chemistry, food adulteration, nutritional analysis, food allergen analysis, materials, particles and fibers analysis, natural toxins analysis, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) import detention services, shelf life studies, consumer testing, industrial hygiene testing and more.
