The US FDA, University of Maryland and Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN) and Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) have jointly opened the International Food Safety Training Laboratory (IFSTL).
It is apparently the worlds only permanent food safety laboratory that provides laboratory training and teaching lessons on food regulatory standards. The IFSTL will help the FDA and food importers and producers to understand the requirements such as the Safety Modernization Act which was introduced as law earlier this year. The IFSTL will be able to teach up to 200 professionals every year.
