Neither the FDA nor Milk Board, which is working at the direction of FDA, has conducted any testing to determine the subtype. Once the agencies had the initial positive tests, they must have performed subsequent testing for the subtype. Even if the subtype is known to cause illness in humans, it still needs to be determined regardless of whether the amount of bacteria inside the food is enough to truly do so. FDA has a zero tolerance policy for L. mono, a standard widely rejected by the scientific community throughout the world. The zero tolerance policy, in fact, reduces the incentive to test for L. mono.
