Maintenance of California's Food Defense Capability and Capacity

Micro A：Track 1 项目摘要/摘要 申请名称：加强加州的综合食品安全和保障系统 项目名称：维护加州的粮食防御能力和产能 加州卫生部食品药品实验室分支（FDLB）是该州 食物测试的参考实验室。FDLB是粮食紧急反应的积极成员 网络（FERN）、加州食品紧急响应小组（CalFERT）和实验室响应 食源性病原体生物制剂网络（LRN-B）。我们参加年度 通过国家应急准备办公室（EPO）进行应急响应演习， 加州食品紧急响应小组（CalFERT）和加州全州 医疗和健康锻炼。FDLB每年为加州的 公共卫生微生物学家，并邀请第95民事支持小组（CST）成员参加 过去的训练。该提案的目标是维持和加强粮食防御 在加州州的能力和能力，具有以下具体目标： 1.参与FDA要求的演习和/或监督活动，以支持和维护 准备就绪。 2.参加国家特别安全事件演习（如有）。 3.随时准备对可疑或确认的蓄意行为作出快速反应 涉及人类或动物食品的污染事件。这包括确保BSL 2+和/或 BSL 3设施经过认证（如有必要），功能齐全，分析员经过培训并通过 能力演习，设备处于正常工作状态，试剂和用品可用。 4.参与与可疑或可信的食品供应威胁相关的测试， 根据FDA的要求，怀疑存在微生物剂。通过这种方式增加活动 合作协议将提高FDA的分析能力，并推动国家 综合食品安全系统，加强食品安全，并允许对食品作出快速反应， 相关紧急情况。

Micro A: Track 1 Project Abstract/Summary Application Title: Enhancement of California's Integrated Food Safety and Security System Project title: Maintenance of California's Food Defense Capability and Capacity The California Department of Health, Food and Drug Laboratory Branch (FDLB) is the State reference laboratory for food testing. FDLB is an active member of the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN), California Food Emergency Response Team (CalFERT), and Laboratory Response Network for Biological agents (LRN-B) for foodborne pathogens. We participate in annual emergency response exercises through the State Emergency Preparedness Office (EPO), California Food Emergency Response Team (CalFERT) and the State of California statewide medical and health exercise. FDLB provides annual training for food microbiology to California’s Public Health Microbiologists and have invited the 95th Civil Support Team (CST) members to the training in the past. The goal of this proposal is to maintain and enhance the Food Defense capacity and capability in the State of California with the following specific aims: 1. Participate in FDA-requested exercises, and/or surveillance activities to support and maintain readiness. 2. Participate in national special security event exercises, as available. 3. Maintain preparedness to rapidly respond to a suspected or confirmed intentional contamination event involving human or animal food. This includes ensuring that BSL2+ and/or BSL3 facilities are certified, if necessary, and fully functional, analysts are trained and have passed competency exercises, equipment is in working order, and reagents and supplies are available. 4. Participate in testing associated with suspected or credible threats to the food supply where a microbiological agent is suspected, as requested by FDA. Increased activity through this cooperative agreement would increase analytical capacity for the FDA and advance a nationally integrated food safety system which enhances food safety and allow rapid response to food- related emergencies.
