# Chemistry Disciple B Track 2 Human Food Testing

> **NIH FDA U19** · MICHIGAN STATE DEPT OF AGRICULTURE · 2020 · $185,000

## Abstract

Project Summary 
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) Food, Fuel, and Disease 
section performs testing for mycotoxins; veterinary drugs;, Patulin, pH, aW, Total Dissolved Solids, meat 
fat, nutrient and heavy metals, filth, unidentified materials, fish speciation, histamine, and cannabidiol 
potency in food products. Through this funding opportunity the MDARD-FFD section intends work with 
interdepartmental agencies to increase sample volume (over 500 samples/year) and commodity type 
(spices, juices, CBD/THC edibles, aquaculture). The section also intends to add additional analytical 
methods and analytes to its human food testing program. Through discipline B, track 4 the section 
intends to implement a robust allergen testing program, and a more aggressive economic fraud program 
using advancing technologies and methodologies.
