Testing lab Green Analytics East LLC fined $65,000 amid multiple compliance failures
Summary
The commission assessed $65,000 in penalties against Green Analytics East LLC for multiple testing, sampling and traceability failures and underscored the role of testing labs as consumer safeguards.
The commission voted to impose a $65,000 penalty on Green Analytics East LLC after staff identified multiple statutory and regulatory testing deficiencies.
Director Tuisan outlined the violations, including missing or nonworking surveillance, loss of archived footage, collection of only one‑third of the required representative sample, noncompliant sampling for nonhomogenizable products, failure to test according to standard operating procedures, use of an invalidated QPCR method for stability reporting, and traceability failures relative to ISO/IEC protocols. Chair Laufer stressed that "integrity of testing is incredibly important" and described testing labs as "safeguards for our consumers." The board voted to assess the $65,000 penalty as recommended by staff.
