NJ Department of Agriculture, Animal Food Product Testing and Capability/Capacity Development for Integrated Food Safety

项目概要（总体） 新泽西农业部（NJDA）实验室希望参加 实验室灵活资助模式（LFFM）项目，以改善动物食品监督， 获得实验室设备、用品、人员和标准化测试培训 方法和质量保证。参加LFFM将提高动物 NJDA实验室的食品分析能力，并帮助维护ISO 17025：2017 认可。LFFM合作协议计划将帮助NJDA实验室 开发和维护食品药品监督管理局（FDA）所需的分析方法 和新泽西州动物食品管理局（营销和 开发），进行外部机构提供的能力测试，并实施 动物食品抽样计划。实验室将能够提供可辩护的实验室数据， 监管行动。NJDA实验室将能够提高动物食品检测能力， 通过对食源性和相关兽医产品进行全基因组测序， 临床细菌分离株。该实验室将与FDA共享测试和测序数据。 该实验室将发展所需的快速部署能力，以便在发生下列情况时提供分析服务： 通过受污染的动物性食品引发的大规模微生物或化学事件。的 实验室还将与FDA和其他机构合作参与指导计划， 参与实验室。总的来说，LFFM合作协议计划将使 在新泽西州发展综合实验室科学和食品安全， 美国食品安全现代化法案（FSMA）。

Project Summary (Overall) The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) laboratory would like to participate in the Laboratory Flexible Funding Model (LFFM) projects to improve animal food surveillance through obtaining laboratory equipment, supplies, personnel, and training in standardized testing methodologies as well as quality assurance. Participation in the LFFM will enhance the animal food analytical capabilities of the NJDA laboratory and help maintain the ISO 17025:2017 accreditation. The LFFM co-operative agreement program will help the NJDA laboratory develop and maintain analytical methods needed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the New Jersey State animal food regulatory agency (Division of Marketing and Development), undertake proficiency testing provided by external agencies, and implement animal food sampling plans. The laboratory will be able to provide defensible laboratory data for regulatory action. The NJDA laboratory will be able to enhance animal food testing capacity and capability by implementing whole genome sequencing of the food borne and related veterinary clinical bacterial isolates. The laboratory will share testing and sequencing data with the FDA. The laboratory will develop surge capacity needed to provide analytical services in the event of a large-scale microbiological or chemical event through contaminated animal food. The laboratory will also participate in mentoring program in collaboration with FDA and other participating laboratories. Overall, the LFFM co-operative agreement program will enable development of integrated laboratory science and food safety in the State of New Jersey and the United States in support of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
