West Virginia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Flexible Funding Model PAR-20-105 Abstract- Overall Food surveillance testing is an integral part of protecting consumers and the nation’s food supply. In order to detect and remove contaminated food from the supply chain, it is important for agricultural agencies to be able to quickly and accurately test for a wide variety of pathogens. The proposed project will increase the overall testing capabilities and capacities of food testing in West Virginia. This mitigation will directly decrease the risk of contaminated foods from reaching endpoint consumers. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture (WVDA) will specifically aim to enhance the capability and capacity of WV’s human and animal food testing laboratories in support of an integrated food safety system. The WVDA will provide enhanced sample collections and test offerings in the fields of microbiology and chemistry that are ISO accredited and accepted by the FDA. The WVDA will also develop special projects that will support and expand related testing. The WVDA also aims to strengthen and improve the collaboration of surveillance activities between the FDA and other laboratory partners. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture serves as the primary regulatory agency for human and animal food product testing and is also the primary regulatory agency for the testing of manufactured foods (MFRPS) and animal food (AFRPS) in WV. The laboratories have 18 methods that are ISO 17025 accredited. The agency has been an active member of the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) since 2005. The laboratories have completed method development, single and multi-laboratory method validations, and surveillance activities for FERN. The WVDA actively conducts analysis of foods for microbiology and chemistry food defense purposes as well. The WVDA has demonstrated that with the infrastructure and experience of personnel, the facility, ISO accreditation, research projects, method developments, and on-going surveillance projects that it is committed to completing the objectives of this track. This project will enhance the human food surveillance capability and capacity of the WVDA and help support an integrated food safety system by strengthening cooperation with the FDA.

西弗吉尼亚州农业部 实验室灵活资助模式 PAR-20-105 摘要-总体 食品监督检测是保护消费者和国家安全的一个组成部分。 食物供应为了检测并从供应链中清除受污染的食品， 重要的是农业机构能够快速和准确地测试各种各样的 病原体拟议的项目将提高 西弗吉尼亚州的食品检测这种缓解措施将直接降低受污染食品的风险 到达终端消费者。 西弗吉尼亚州农业部（WVDA）将专门致力于加强 WV的人类和动物食品测试实验室的能力和能力，以支持 综合食品安全体系。WVDA将提供增强的样本收集和测试 微生物学和化学领域的产品，经ISO认证并被 FDA. WVDA还将开发支持和扩大相关测试的特殊项目。 WVDA还旨在加强和改善监测活动的合作 FDA和其他实验室合作伙伴之间。 西弗吉尼亚州农业部是主要的监管机构， 人类和动物食品测试，也是测试的主要监管机构 加工食品（MFRPS）和动物食品（AFRPS）在西弗吉尼亚州。 实验室有18种方法获得ISO 17025认证。该机构一直在 自2005年以来，她一直是粮食紧急反应网络（FERN）的积极成员。的 实验室已完成方法开发，单实验室和多实验室方法 FERN的验证和监督活动。WVDA积极进行食品分析 用于微生物学和化学食品防御目的。 WVDA已经证明，凭借人员的基础设施和经验， 设施，ISO认证，研究项目，方法开发，以及正在进行的 监督项目表明，它致力于完成这一轨道的目标。这个项目 将加强人类食品监测能力和WVDA的能力，并帮助支持 通过加强与FDA的合作，建立一个综合的食品安全体系。
