CAHFS Food Defense Discipline B Track 1 7/1/2020-6/30/2021

纪律B轨道1：食品防御 项目摘要 美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)的主要任务之一是捍卫国家的 由意外或故意的化学掺假行为造成的食品供应。2009年等事件 深水地平线漏油事件和2007年宠物食品三聚氰胺污染事件 证明了在化学分析方面需要增强和协调的反应能力 发生食品供应的系统性污染类型。这些大规模的污染事件 需要比FDA维护的更多的化学分析能力。这个项目的目标是 是维持一个随时准备提供调查和增援能力的实验室网络。这 目标将通过要求参与实验室拥有人员、设备和 提供这种能力所需的设施。实验室将参加化学防御演习和 能力测试，以确保他们在食品防御紧急情况下做好准备。 加州动物健康和食品安全实验室(CAHFS)满足或超过以下要求 作为此网络的成员。CAHFS毒物科有足够的人员和资源来 接收大量样本并执行对检测和 及时识别多种毒物。CAHFS在以下方面具有丰富的经验 这个项目和许多其他项目都需要FDA批准的特定方法。这些方法包括 CHE.0006、CHE.0008和CHE.0009。此外，毒物科还有70多份有毒物质的标准操作规程 包括真菌毒素、农药、兽药、植物毒素、藻类毒素等。CAHFS 毒物学还在快速开发新方法方面经验丰富，以应对意外事件 食品污染事件。CAHFS维护着一个BSL 3设施，以供在发生 SELECT试剂和毒理学部门的所有化学家都参加了CAHFS SELECT试剂项目。 该实验室已通过兽医实验室诊断协会的认证 自2005年以来，并自2017年起符合国际标准化组织17025标准。食环署署长保持稳健的品质保证 和质量控制程序，并成功参加了所有能力测试演习 该项目的目标是提供实验室能力，帮助保护国家的食品供应免受攻击 通过故意掺假或者被有毒化学物质意外污染。CAHFS达到或超过所有 项目要求，并将作为FDA在实现这些目标方面的宝贵合作伙伴。

Discipline B Track 1: Food Defense Project Summary One of the primary missions of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is to defend the nation’s food supply from acts of accidental or intentional chemical adulteration. Events such as the 2009 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the 2007 incident of melamine contamination in pet food have demonstrated the need for enhanced and coordinated response capacity in chemical analysis when any type of systemic contamination of the food supply occurs. These large-scale contamination events require far more capacity for chemical analysis than that maintained by the FDA. The goal of this project is to maintain a network of laboratories that are ready to provide investigative and surge capacity. This goal will be attained by requiring participating laboratories to possess the personnel, equipment, and facilities needed to provide this capacity. Laboratories will participate in chemical defense exercises and proficiency testing to assure their readiness in the event of a food defense emergency. The California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory (CAHFS) meets or exceeds the requirements to serve as a member of this network. The Toxicology Section of CAHFS has the personnel and resources to receive large numbers of samples and to perform complex testing critical to the detection and identification of a broad array of toxicants in a timely manner. CAHFS is highly experienced in the specific FDA-approved methods required for this project as well as many others. These methods include CHE.0006, CHE.0008, and CHE.0009. In addition, the Toxicology Section has over 70 SOPs for toxicants including mycotoxins, pesticides, veterinary drugs, plant toxins, algal toxins, and many others. CAHFS Toxicology is also highly experienced in rapidly developing novel methods in the event of an unexpected food contamination event. CAHFS maintains a BSL 3 facility for use in the event of contamination by a select agent and all chemists in the Toxicology Section participate in the CAHFS select agent program. The laboratory has been accredited through the Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians since 2005, and to the standards of ISO 17025 since 2017. CAHFS maintains a robust quality assurance and quality control program and has successfully participated in all proficiency test exercises This project’s goal is to provide laboratory capacity to help protect the nation’s food supply from attack by intentional adulteration or accidental contamination by toxic chemicals. CAHFS meets or exceeds all project requirements and will act as a valued partner to the FDA in achieving these goals.
