Duration: 1 Hour
Summary
The FDA's "Closer to Zero" approach to limiting exposure of children and infants to harmful heavy metals and the recently proposed Baby Food Act of 2021 converge on the need for lower LOQs for infant formula and baby food. Both approaches present challenges for the analytical lab. Learn how industry experts are taking a risk-based approach to contaminant testing and implementing automation to decrease turn-around time and increase sample throughput, all while maintaining reliable results.What You’ll Learn
