Almonds, peanuts, and pistachios are to be analyzed for mycotoxins by a USDA (AMS) or USDA (AMS)-approved laboratory. The participants listed 

below have been evaluated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), and have been found to 

be in conformance with the requirements of USDA, AMS Laboratory Approval Program for Analysis of Mycotoxins (LAP-Mycotoxins). The LAPMycotoxins is administered to ensure participant laboratories perform validated analysis of aflatoxins in almonds, peanuts, and pistachios and OTA 

in pistachios. 

NOTE: The Laboratory Approval Program for Analysis of Aflatoxins (LAP-Aflatoxins) was rebranded to the Laboratory Approval Program for Analysis 

of Mycotoxins, effective January 2023. The rebranding facilitates the Program's scope to include analysis if ochratoxin A in Pistachios destined to 

the European Union; and allows for future program expansions.
