According to the FDA, last year less than 1 in 800 imported food shipments were tested.  Of those, 42% were refused due to food safety concerns!

Rapid food testing is needed at our ports and borders.

Congress has mandated the FDA implement an "agency shift in perspective”, meaning preventing outbreaks rather than just reacting to them.

The FDA just released a strategy document towards ensuring imported food is safe. The key goals include border surveillance to keep out unsafe foods and rapid response when unsafe imported food is found.

In the US, 94% of seafood, 55% of fresh fruit and 32% of fresh vegetables are imported.

We believe SnapDNA rapid testing at ports and borders will be invaluable tool for a safe food supply.
