- Summary:
- Congress addressed the importance of research related to rapid detection of adulterated food in the Bioterrorism Act with the inclusion of section 302(d). This section directs the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide for research on test methods and sampling methodologies designed to test food in order to rapidly detect the adulteration of the food. The greatest priority is to be given to the detection of the intentional adulteration of food and in the development of tests that are suitable for inspections of foods at ports of entry into the U.S. Research efforts are to be aimed at improving existing technology in terms of accuracy, timing and costs. Section 302 provides for the Secretary, as appropriate, to coordinate such research with certain other federal officials.
