# IDALS LFFM Special Projects - Sample Collection

> **NIH FDA U19** · IOWA DEPT AGRICULTURE/LAND STEWARDSHIP · 2020 · $35,000

## Abstract

Project Summary Special Projects – Sample Collection 
Sampling is arguably the most critical step in generating reliable laboratory data. IDALS will collect an 
expanded number of samples on this project by two means. Retail RTE cheese samples and pet food will 
be purchased at retail by trained laboratory personnel. Feed samples will be collected from commercial 
feed mills under an in-house agreement with the FDA credentialed inspectors of IDALS’ Commerical 
Feed and Fertilizer Bureau. All samples will be entered into iMobile as a means to pre-log them into our 
LIMS system. Samples will be delivered to the laboratory. Proper handling and storage will be 
conducted prior to testing. Enhanced sampling will help assure a safer feed and food system.
