US food safety labs keep buying the same chemical testing supplies

The US Food Safety and Inspection Service bought more chemical separation columns and QUECHERS kits. This means federal labs can continue their routine testing of meat, poultry, and egg products.

This procurement ensures federal food safety labs have the supplies they need to do their job. It does not change how they test food, what they test for, or the rules they enforce. It is a routine purchase to maintain existing operations.
