申请名称：新泽西食品测试计划-食品安全和国防（2020-2025） 项目名称：食物微生物污染监测及紧急分析 项目概要-学科A：微生物学，分析方向1：食品防御 新泽西卫生部（NJDOH）正在寻求美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）的 实验室灵活供资模式合作协议，重点是提高实验室的能力 新泽西州维护食品安全和保障。生物威胁反应实验室（BTRL）设在NJDOH的 公共卫生实验室服务（PHLS）微生物学计划。BTRL一直是食品应急响应 自2005年以来，该网络（FERN）合作伙伴进行食品分析，以支持国家和FDA的优先事项。的 实验室积极参与了与过去合作协议有关的活动， 加入目前的FDA合作协议。 该实验室将参加微生物学-分析轨道1：食品防御。该项目旨在提高 新泽西州快速检测食品中微生物病原体和毒素的能力 东西实验室将收集和分析市售婴儿配方奶粉、婴儿食品、牛奶和其他 乳制品，果汁和其他食品，根据FDA的要求，从超市/零售店， 新泽西的土拉热弗朗西丝氏菌，伯克霍尔德氏菌，布鲁氏菌属，炭疽杆菌，耶尔森氏菌 鼠疫、贝氏柯克斯体和蓖麻毒素。根据Select Agent，这些微生物是1级Select Agent 调控食品污染的早期预警信号将预防食源性疾病， 在大规模疫情的威胁下， 除了对新泽西可供购买的食品进行监督外，BTRL还将1）参与FDA- 要求开展的活动，包括酌情开展分类演习和国家安全活动，2） 对污染事件和食品供应威胁的反应准备，3）参与并通过 能力测试，4）通过适当渠道报告结果，5）参加培训和会议，6）主办现场 访问，7）提供状态报告，以及8）参加网络电话会议。 该项目将帮助实验室保持准备，以迅速应对疑似或确诊的 我们的目标是防止故意污染事件，并积极帮助保障国家和国家的食品供应。

Application Title: New Jersey Food Testing Program - Food Safety and Defense (2020-2025) Project Title: Microbial Contamination of Food- Surveillance and Emergency Analysis Project Summary – Discipline A: Microbiology, Analytical Track 1: Food Defense The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is pursuing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Laboratory Flexible Funding Model cooperative agreement focused on improving the capability and capacity of NJ to maintain food safety and security. The BioThreat Response Laboratory (BTRL) is housed within NJDOH’s Public Health Laboratory Services (PHLS) Microbiology Program. BTRL has been a Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) partner since 2005 conducting food analyses in support of State and FDA priorities. The Laboratory has actively participated in activities associated with past cooperative agreements and is looking forward to participating in the current FDA cooperative agreement. The laboratory will participate in Microbiology - Analytical Track 1: Food Defense. This project aims to enhance the capacity and capabilities of the state of New Jersey to rapidly detect microbial pathogens and toxins in food stuff. The Laboratory will collect and analyze commercially available infant formulas; baby foods; milk and other dairy products, fruit juices, and other foods as requested by the FDA from supermarkets/retail outlets across New Jersey for the presence of Francisella tularensis, Burkholderia sp., Brucella sp., Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, Coxiella burnetti and Ricin toxin. These organisms are Tier-1 Select agents as per the Select Agent Regulation. An early warning sign of food contamination will prevent foodborne illnesses, minimize foodborne exposures and save lives in the threat of a large-scale outbreak. In addition to the surveillance of foods available for purchase in New Jersey, BTRL will 1) participate in FDA- requested activities including triage exercises and national security events as appropriate, 2) provide rapid response preparedness for contamination events and threats to the food supply, 3) participate in and pass proficiency tests, 4) report results through appropriate channels, 5) attend trainings and conferences, 6) host site visits, 7) provide status reports, and 8) participate in network teleconferences. The project will help the laboratory to maintain preparedness to rapidly respond to suspected or confirmed intentional contamination event and proactively help safeguard the State’s and national food supply.
