Thanksgiving is a time to gather around the table, express gratitude, and share the joys of a bountiful feast. At Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. (PJLA), we take pride in knowing that laboratories accredited through our rigorous processes play a crucial role in ensuring that the Thanksgiving table is filled with safe, high-quality, and sustainable foods. From the farm soil to the feast on your plate, PJLA-accredited laboratories uphold safety and integrity every step of the way.
Every Thanksgiving dish begins at the source – the soil. Accredited laboratories play a vital role in testing soil health, ensuring that it is free from harmful contaminants and rich in the nutrients necessary to grow robust crops. By analyzing soil composition and detecting toxins like heavy metals or pesticides, laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 help farmers adopt sustainable and safe agricultural practices, fostering better yields and environmental stewardship.
From harvesting to processing, accredited laboratories help maintain food safety at every checkpoint. They conduct microbial testing to detect pathogens like Salmonella or E. coli, ensuring that your Thanksgiving turkey, green beans, and pumpkin pie ingredients are safe for consumption. These laboratories also verify allergen labeling, helping families avoid potentially dangerous reactions during their celebrations.
This Thanksgiving, as you enjoy your favorite dishes with loved ones, remember the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every bite is as safe as it is satisfying. From farm to feast, accredited laboratories are here to protect the traditions that bring us together.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at PJLA!
