RAPID TESTS LIKE THE MIT-1000 AND whole-genome-sequencing (WGS)
IS ALL IT TAKES TO PUT AN END TO SUCH UNCARING VIOLATORS AS 'VALLEY MILK'!!!!!

THATS RIGHT FDA HAD THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SHUT THEM DOWN!!!!!


RAPID TESTS RULE!!!!!!!!!

FDA'S NEW RULES ARE A PERFECT FIT FOR THE POWER OF THE MIT-1000
AND ITS SUPER FAST TESTING CAPABILITIES!!!!!!!!!!!

The U.S. Department of Justice filed the complaint, on behalf of the FDA, in the U.S. District Court for the Virginia Western District, alleging that the seized products are adulterated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

During an FDA inspection of Valley Milk from July – September 2016, FDA investigators observed poor sanitary practices and reviewed the company’s records, which showed positive results for Salmonella in the plant’s internal environmental and finished product samples. FDA investigators observed residues on internal parts of the processing equipment after it had been cleaned by the company and water dripping from the ceiling onto food manufacturing equipment. In addition, environmental swabs collected during the inspection confirmed the presence of Salmonella meleagridis on surfaces food came into contact with after being pasteurized. Throughout the investigation, the FDA worked closely with the Virginia Department of Health and Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

“The FDA urged Valley Milk to conduct a voluntary recall of the implicated products,” said Melinda K. Plaisier, the FDA’s associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. “The firm refused to recall and, as a result, we have had to intervene and seize this adulterated food to prevent it from reaching consumers who could be exposed to Salmonella from these products.”

The FDA used a bacterial typing tool called whole genome sequencing (WGS) to link the samples collected in the facility over time.
