- Happy to have contributed to this column. Let’s stay science-based and focused on prevention. Consumers deserve that from us. An over-reliance on end-product testing, using current methods & low powered sampling plans, while well intentioned, will provide a false sense of security & hinder more meaningful, needed progress to further strengthen the safety of these important and nutritious products.
