Overview[]
The Electronic Laboratory Exchange Network (eLEXNET) provides a web-based system for real-time sharing of food-safety laboratory data among federal, state, and local agencies. It allows public-health officials at multiple government agencies engaged in food-safety activities to compare and coordinate laboratory analysis findings in a secure setting. eLEXNET captures food-safety sample and test-result data from participating laboratories and uses them for risk-assessment and decision-support purposes, improving the early detection of problem products.
