USDA awards test contract to Charm Sciences

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service has awarded a five-year renewable contract to Charm Sciences Inc. to provide inspectors with Kidney Inhibition Swab (KIS) tests at slaughter facilities. The tests screen for "close to kidney tolerances" of sulfonamides and antibiotic drugs under the National Residue Program.
The inspection program will be implemented in phases beginning with cattle and expanding to all livestock.
