NIH Awards Contract to Flora Research to Study Benzene Contamination
In the growing wake of evidence surfacing regarding the benzene contamination issue in carbonated beverages and other foods, the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institute of Health (NIH), Bethesda, MD, has awarded Flora Re-search Laboratories, (FRL) Grants Pass, OR, a contract to develop an analytical me-thod for testing consumer products, in-cluding dietary supplements, for benzene contamination. James Neal-Kababick, laboratory director at FRL, will be the lead investigator in this endeavor. This project is a joint effort between FRL and Jana Hildreth from Blaze Science Industries, who will be coordinating the study. Responding to the crisis, FRL is developing a novel analytical method that will control benzene formation in the laboratory and allow for more accurate measurements of benzene in consumer products.
