Good Results Require GOOD Samples—Steering the Field of Food and Feed Sampling in a Revolutionary Direction. A revolutionary framework being developed to provide guidance on sampling and sample handling in food and feed testing, both in the field and in the laboratory. This framework will address many potential sources of error in the analytical measurement process, which is critical to the testing of any food or feed where the consequences of an incorrect decision can lead to product misbranding, adulteration, and/or missed safety issues. Once published, Guidance on Obtaining Defensible Samples (GOODSamples) will support FSMA regulations by helping to standardize activities across food/feed testing, to meet program standards and enhance food safety.
