IDFA congratulates Tom Graham, Ph.D., on his appointment as supervisor of the Food and Drug Administration's Laboratory Proficiency and Evaluation Team (LPET). Many IDFA members work with the team, which plays a critical role in the National Conference of Interstate Milk Shippers (NCIMS) Grade "A" milk program. The LPET is responsible for certifying state laboratory evaluation officers who in turn evaluate and certify labs and technicians operating in Grade "A" dairy plants.
