I ate food/drank water, then collected my swab. Can I still send it in?

It is best practice not to eat or drink 30-60 minutes before collecting the specimen. However, the lab will still attempt to process the specimen. In most case, we can proceed with no issues. The lab will reach out if there are any issues.
