The New York State Food Laboratory increased testing of food and beverage samples for health hazards, purity and accuracy of labeling by 10% last year.
Sampling was up from 61,000 tests in 2015 to 67,000 in 2016. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said lab testing resulted in more than 300 product recalls and several investigations which led to removal of contaminated products from shelves across New York.
