USDA Honors 榴莲社区app as Small Business Contractor of the Year
榴莲社区app, Inc., has received the 2017 Small Business Contractor of the Year Award from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) based upon its five-year contract with the USDA-Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) for their official regulatory testing of aflatoxin and vomitoxin in grains.
The mycotoxin tests contracted by GIPSA are for the detection of aflatoxin and vomitoxin in grains. Mycotoxins are derived from mold (fungi) and can occur naturally at harvest due to adverse climate conditions or post-harvest due to improper storage. Aflatoxin is a known carcinogen and vomitoxin (DON) causes feed refusal by animals and product quality issues in industries like flour milling and beer manufacturing. Charm tests contracted include: The ROSA WET-S5 Aflatoxin Quantitative Test, the ROSA FAST Aflatoxin Quantitative Test and the ROSA DONQ2 Quantitative Test.
