Enhanced collaboration and a harmonized national approach to food safety complements the New Era of Smarter Food Safety, a modernized approach, involving stakeholders at all levels of the food safety supply chain in the reduction of foodborne illness. We, the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), will collaborate with three national associations to assist retail food regulatory programs in reducing foodborne illness. Our specific aims are: 1) Develop a national Food Code adoption strategy; 2) improve the approach, competency, and food safety culture amongst regulators; 3) increase enrollment, engagement, conformance in the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards (VNRFRPS); 4) improve foodborne outbreak investigation methods; 5) increase the number of establishments that have well-developed and implemented Food Safety Management Systems; and 6) develop a strategy to enhance communication and better tell our story. Collectively, the four partner organizations are the Retail Food Safety Association Collaborative, or the Collaborative. The Collaborative will work to develop and promote a Food Code Adoption Tool Kit to assist retail food regulatory programs in adopting the most current version of the FDA Food Code. We will develop an interactive map which identifies the states’ respective version of the Food Code, to assist in evaluation and targeting interventions. NEHA and the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) will improve foodborne illness outbreak response by creating webpages that serve as the primary, cumulative source of information on existing resources, tools, and trainings. NEHA and AFDO will also create a series of virtual, customizable presentations for jurisdiction needing training templates. A guidance document will be created by NEHA and AFDO to promote the practice of active managerial control, increasing the number of food establishments with effective programs. NEHA will support our association partners, the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Conference for Food Protection (CFP), to increase regulatory programs’ implementation of effective intervention strategies, promote enrollment in VNRFRPS, and conduct virtual meetings with stakeholders to identify and overcome barriers to risk-based inspections. We will enhance communications by providing web content designed to promote Collaborative successes, outputs and recognized best practices. Additionally, we will develop at least two recommendations to FDA on emerging food safety issues, publish at least one scholarly article intended to quantify and characterize successes, challenges and lessons learned. The Collaborative will leverage each partner organization to raise awareness of food safety principles, enhance compliance with rules and regulations, promote best practices and work towards a reduction in foodborne illness.

加强协作和协调一致的国家食品安全办法是对 更智能食品安全的新时代，现代化的方法，涉及食品各级利益相关者 安全供应链，减少食源性疾病。我们，国家环境卫生 协会(Neha)，将与三个国家协会合作，协助零售食品监管 减少食源性疾病的方案。我们的具体目标是：1)制定国家食品法规通过 战略；2)改进监管机构的方法、能力和食品安全文化；3)提高 自愿参与国家零售食品监管计划的登记、参与和遵守 标准(VNRFRPS)；4)改进食源性暴发调查方法；5)增加 有完善和执行食品安全管理体系的机构；及 制定加强沟通的战略，更好地讲述我们的故事。总的来说，这四个合作伙伴 组织是零售食品安全协会协作组，或协作组。 该协作组将致力于开发和推广食品代码采用工具包，以协助 零售食品监管计划采用最新版本的FDA食品法规。我们会 制作互动地图，识别各州各自版本的《食品法典》，以协助 评估和定向干预措施。Neha和食品和药物官员协会(AFDO)将 通过创建作为主要服务的网页来改进食源性疾病暴发应对， 关于现有资源、工具和培训的累积信息来源。Neha和AFDO也将 为需要培训模板的辖区创建一系列虚拟、可定制的演示文稿。一个 Neha和AFDO将创建指导文件，以促进积极管理的实践 控制，增加具有有效计划的食品机构的数量。Neha将支持我们的 协会合作伙伴、全国县市卫生官员协会(NACCHO)和 食品保护会议(CFP)，以增加监管计划的有效实施 干预战略，促进在VNRFRPS的注册，并与 利益攸关方识别和克服基于风险的检查的障碍。 我们将通过提供旨在促进协作的网络内容来加强沟通 取得的成功、产出和公认的最佳做法。此外，我们将开发至少两个 就新出现的食品安全问题向FDA提出建议，至少发表一篇学术文章 对取得的成功、挑战和经验教训进行量化和定性。协作组将利用 每个伙伴组织提高对食品安全原则的认识，加强对规则的遵守 促进最佳做法，努力减少食源性疾病。
