| Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition The following is an update of interest to our Constituent Update, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), Retail Food Protection, and Importer News subscriber lists. New Dashboard for Laboratory Accreditation for Analyses of Foods (LAAF) Program August 3, 2022 A new LAAF Dashboard has been added to the FDA Data Dashboard to serve as the online public registry listing for information on participants in the Laboratory Accreditation for Analyses of Foods Program (LAAF). The establishment of the LAAF Program is intended to improve the accuracy and reliability of certain food testing through the uniformity of standards and enhanced FDA oversight of participating laboratories. The functionality of the LAAF Dashboard includes searching, viewing, and the ability to export the lists of recognized accreditation bodies, LAAF-accredited laboratories, and each laboratory's testing scopes. Interested accreditation bodies may apply for recognition under the LAAF program through an electronic portal. The data will be refreshed as participants are added or changed. Interested laboratories may apply directly to one of the recognized accreditation bodies to seek LAAF-accreditation. For questions about the LAAF Program, contact FDALAAFInquiry@fda.hhs.gov. For questions or feedback specific to the Dashboard, email FDADataDashboard@fda.hhs.gov or send a message via the Contact Us page. For Additional Information: |
