GDA LFFM项目摘要/摘要 加工食品监管程序标准(MFRPS)已经建立了统一的 负责设施管理的州项目管理基金会， 包括实验室分析，用于化学和微生物污染物。佐治亚州 农业部(GDA)参与了2011年的改进计划，随后进行了五项- 年获得国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025认证的合作协议。这个项目是后来的 由为期两年的认证维护和增强赠款和一项额外的 年扩大认证范围，以支持监管机构的主要服务 实验室。GDA实验室获得、增强并保持认证，这有助于他们的 监管机构代表FDA对合同工作的合规要求。 为了让GDA实验室保持其认证并支持监管机构 作为他们的主要实验室，需要持续的支持来抵消所需的额外费用 用于质量保证活动以及关键分析设备的持续维护。 国家合作伙伴接受全球食品安全倡议的额外责任继续 主要维修实验室需要支持和加强，以保持分析能力 实现这些目标的能力。为了实现这些目标，实验室将依靠 与我们的监管机构建立了关系，并同意收集和分析 在MFRPS和AFRPS指导下的样本，以供可能的监管执法。GDA有 已经与其监管合作伙伴建立并展示了成功的关系，并且 实现这一目标的能力。之前签署的协议是为了收集和 使用国家检查员和可靠的抽样计划分析样本中的污染物。这些 结果将在国家数据库中提交，违规掺假将被 受到适当的监管行动的制约。这笔赠款将允许GDA实验室保持 认证国际标准，通过收集和分析样本来保护公众 为污染物作出贡献，并为综合国家食品安全系统做出累积贡献。

GDA LFFM Project Summary / Abstract The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) has established a uniform foundation for management of state programs responsible for the regulation of facilities, including laboratory analysis, for chemical and microbiological contaminants. The Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) participated in a 2011 Improvement Plan followed by a five- year cooperative agreement to obtain ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation. This project was later supported by a two-year Accreditation Maintenance and Enhancement grant and an additional year to expand upon accreditation in order to support the regulatory agency’s primary servicing lab. GDA laboratories achieved, enhanced, and maintained accreditation which assists their regulatory agencies in compliance requirements for contractual work on behalf of FDA. In order for GDA laboratories to maintain their accreditation and support the regulatory agency as their primary laboratory, continuous support is needed to offset the added expense required for Quality Assurance activities as well as the ongoing upkeep of critical analytical equipment. For state partners to accept added responsibility for Global Food Safety initiatives continued support and enhancement will be necessary for the primary servicing labs to maintain analytical capability for meeting these goals. To achieve these goals the laboratory will rely upon established relationships with our regulatory agency and their agreement to collect and analyze samples under the MFRPS and AFRPS guidance for possible regulatory enforcement. GDA has already developed and demonstrated successful relationships with their regulatory partners and ability to fulfill this objective. Signed agreements have been previously forged to collect and analyzed samples for contaminants using state inspectors and robust sampling plans. These results will be submitted in a national database repository and violative adulterations will be subject to appropriate regulatory action. This grant will allow GDA laboratories to maintain accreditation to international standards, protect the public by collecting and analyzing samples for contaminants, and to cumulatively contribute to an integrated national food safety system.
