Microbiology: Analytical Track 3: Animal Food Testing

摘要：微生物学分析轨道3(动物性食品检验) 宠物食品可能会掺入各种各样的污染物，可能会危及宠物的健康 家庭安全。这一庞大而多方面的提案的核心原则是为 全面和综合的食品保护实验室中心，以应对粮食紧急情况 网络(蕨类)，能够分析许多不同的食物，跨越各种威胁优先级。 因此，监测动物性食品的微生物污染是 MDH实验室管理局确保安全食品供应的目标。这项建议旨在 使用国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年认证加强对多种动物性食品(100个样品)的检测 方法、广泛的技术能力和经验丰富的食品微生物学分析人员 实验室。这一有计划的战略是对大量人类食品检测活动的补充，并进一步 利用与我们内部测序核心的强大而密切的合作。在此范围内的活动 分析轨道将有目的地集中于实现《 PAR-20-105计划公告。该实验室将与当地监管机构在 在宠物食品中发现违规污染物的事件。

SUMMARY: MICROBIOLOGY ANALYTICAL TRACK 3 (ANIMAL FOOD TESTING) Pet food can become adulterated with a wide range of contaminants that threaten to compromise household safety. The core tenet of this large and multifaceted proposal is to contribute a comprehensive and integrated food protection laboratory hub to the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) that is capable of analyzing many different foods across a diversity of threat priorities. As such, surveilling animal food for microbiological contamination is an essential component of the MDH Laboratories Administration’s goal of ensuring a safe food supply. This proposal seeks to strengthen testing of diverse animal foods (100 samples) using ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited methods, extensive technical capabilities, and the experienced Analysts of the Food Microbiology Laboratory. This planned strategy complements high-volume human food testing activities, and further leverages a strong and close collaboration with our in-house Sequencing Core. Activities within this analytical track will be purposefully focused to achieve the 15 Specific Aims that were outlined in the PAR-20-105 program announcement. The Laboratory will work with local regulatory authorities in the event that violative contaminants are found in pet foods.
