提高能力和能力 微生物和化学测试，以支持 综合食品防御和食品安全系统 微生物学学科，人类食品产品测试分析跟踪 项目总结/摘要 俄亥俄州农业部（ODA）消费者保护实验室（CPL）建议， 加强联邦保护全国食品供应的努力，加强州政府的监管 作为食品安全现代化法案的一部分， 紧急反应网络。该机构应参与国家发起的产品测试， 人类食品，预计至少测试500个样品， 在五年项目期内的每一年，ODA-CPL旨在 在5年的赠款期内解决三个问题。首先，ODA-CPL将购买新的 这将有助于我们更有效，更准确地检测和确认食源性疾病 病原体第二，我们将寻求增加人员，以帮助我们有效地进行人力资源管理， 食品监督项目。通过增加技术人员一级的工作人员， 经验丰富的科学家进行测试，并投入时间进行方法开发 机会最后，在赠款的支持下，我们将继续增加更多的方法， 我们的ISO 17025认证范围我们期待着加入更多的 新出现的致病因子，我们在毒理学，寄生虫学和 最终病毒学。通过扩大我们的范围，我们认为我们将能够更好地为客户服务 和联邦合作伙伴

Increasing the Capability and Capacity of Microbiological and Chemical Testing to Support an Integrated Food Defense and Food Safety System Microbiology Discipline, Human Food Product Testing Analytical Track Project Summary / Abstract The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Consumer Protection Laboratory (CPL) propose to strengthen federal efforts to protect the national food supply and enhance the state's regulatory effectiveness in food safety as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act and the Food Emergency Response Network. The agency shall participate in state-initiated product testing of human foods products with the expectation of testing at minimum 500 samples for microbiological adulterants during each year of the five-year project period. ODA-CPL seeks to address three issues during the 5-yr grant period. First, ODA-CPL shall purchase new instrumentation that will help us more efficiently and accurately detect and confirm foodborne pathogens. Second, we shall look to add on personnel to help us effectively conduct the human food surveillance project. By adding staff at the technician level, we can allow our more experienced scientists to conduct the testing and devote time to method development opportunities. Lastly, with support from the grant we will look to continually add more methods to our ISO 17025 scope of accreditation. We look forward to moving towards adding more of the emerging illness causing agents to our capability in the areas of toxicology, parasitology and eventually virology. By enhancing our scope, we feel we will be better able to serve our clients and federal partners.
