eLEXNET Training
Application
Description:
The Electronic Laboratory Exchange Network (eLEXNET) is a seamless, integrated, secure
system that allows multiple government agencies engaged in food safety activities to
compare, communicate, and coordinate laboratory analysis findings. eLEXNET provides the
necessary infrastructure for an early-warning system that identifies potentially hazardous
foods and enables health officials to assess risks and analyze trends. eLEXNET is a
program funded by the Food and Drug Administration and supported by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and the Department of Defense.
Course Description:
The objective of this course is to provide users with the ability to effectively use all

local governments providing a valuable resource for risk assessment, data mining, work
planning, and identifying test methods for food. The course includes step-by-step training
