Kentucky DPH Environmental Micro and Chemistry Food Surveillance and Protection.

项目摘要：PAR-20-15 5/26/20 肯塔基州实验室服务部的主要目标是 公共卫生将保持国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年的认证(2018年11月获得 用于食品化学和微生物检测)，并通过扩大范围来增强检测能力 通过正式增加食品微生物学的WGS分析，对目前的认证进行了改进。ISO/IEC 17025 认可是测试实验室最重要的标准之一，也是对 实验室执行特定任务的能力和技术能力。所产生的结果 都是可以根据公认的标准进行辩护的。此外，认证支持技术的可追溯性 由实验室产生的结果。在发生大规模恐怖活动或其他大规模 影响食品或食品的事件，各州和联邦当局可以使用实验室检测结果 通过简化的分析审查和执行来快速响应 遵守监管规定，以保护国家食品供应的安全。DLS是主要的服务 代表肯塔基州进行微生物和化学食品分析实验室 公共卫生/食品安全部的人工食品监管计划(MFRPS) 分支机构，与FDA签订了当前的食品安全检查合同，并加入了MFRPS。 DLS拥有符合管理和技术要求的质量管理体系 国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025：2017年标准的要求。DLS是一个食品应急网络 (蕨类)实验室，并参与食品水平测试，并将继续提交实验室 按照要求，通过将成为ORAPP的结果。实验室服务部 目标是通过引入新的检测能力来增强实验室活动，例如环孢菌素 食品化学检测食品中微量和有毒金属。 这项提案的资金将帮助肯塔基州MFRPS达到标准10 MFRPS的“实验室支持”，并将有助于生产准确和可靠的测试 数据，FDA和其他监管机构更快地接受分析结果 执法行动、监测目的和对食源性疫情的反应。此外，DLS还 将继续参与GenomeTrackr活动和PTS，并与 其他机构，如肯塔基州农业部和美国农业部，用于样品采集和 测试。

Project Summary: PAR-20-15 5/26/20 The main objective of the Division of Laboratory Services (DLS) at the Kentucky Department for Public Health is to maintain ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 accreditation (achieved in November 2018 for food chemistry and microbiology testing) and enhance testing capabilities by expanding the scope of current accreditation by officially adding WGS analyses for food microbiology. ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is one of the most important standards for testing laboratories and attests to the competency and technical capability of a laboratory to perform specific tasks. The results generated are defensible to a recognized standard. In addition, accreditation supports the traceability of technical results generated by a laboratory. In the event of a large-scale terrorist activity or other large-scale events affecting foods or food products, States and Federal authorities can use laboratory test results from accredited laboratories to respond rapidly with streamlined analytical review and enforce regulatory compliance to protect the safety of the nation's food supply. DLS is the primary servicing laboratory for conducting microbiological and chemical food analyses on behalf of the KY State manufactured food regulatory program (MFRPS) in the Department for Public Health / Food Safety Branch, which has a current food safety inspection contract with FDA and is enrolled in the MFRPS. DLS has a quality management system that is in compliance with the managerial and technical requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard. DLS is a Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) Laboratory and participates in Food proficiency testing and will continue to submit laboratory results through what will become the ORAPP, as requested. The Division of Laboratory Services’s goal is to enhance laboratory activities by bringing in new testing capabilities such as Cyclospora detection for food micro and toxic metals by food chemistry. Funding of this proposal will assist the KY State MFRPS in achieving conformance with Standard 10 “Laboratory Support” of the MFRPS and will contribute to production of accurate and reliable test data, a quicker acceptance of analytical results by FDA, and other regulatory agencies for enforcement actions, surveillance purposes and response to foodborne outbreaks. In addition, DLS will continue to participate in GenomeTrackr activities and PTs as well as develop partnerships with other agencies such as the KY Department of Agriculture and the USDA for sample acquisition and testing.
