Micro A: Track 2 Project Abstract/Summary Application Title: Enhancement of California's Integrated Food Safety and Security System Project title: Strengthening California's Food Testing Surveillance Program The California Department of Health, Food and Drug Laboratory Branch (FDLB) is the State food testing laboratory which serves as the primary servicing laboratory for the State of California’s manufactured food regulatory program (MFRP) for microbiological and chemical analyses. FDLB is enrolled through the Food and Drug Branch in the food safety inspection contract with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the MFRP. The purpose of this analytical track is to improve food testing surveillance programs through the microbiological analysis of food products and environmental samples. The test results generated by FDLB can be used to remove adulterated food from commerce and aide regulatory inspection programs in conducting investigations.
