Project Summary/Abstract Given the large impact of New Mexico's food manufacturing industry, providing high quality, consistent inspections based on the scientific principles of food safety is paramount to protecting New Mexicans and consumers throughout the nation and world. Furthermore, the ability to identify and respond quickly to public health events impacting New Mexico through a well- planned and coordinated Rapid Response Team (RRT) is paramount to preventing the spread and/or continuation of public health related events. In addition to Several large food processors have operations in New Mexico (NM) including: General Mills, Kraft, Coca Cola, Santa Fe Tortilla Company, Bueno Foods, Border Foods, and Albuquerque Tortilla Company, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED-EHB) has experienced a substantial surge in the number of small local producers seeking to begin food manufacturing. In 2015 NMED-EHB identified an inability to keep up with the growing number of questions and requests to provide assistance and speak to various groups or to develop a program conforming with the MFRPS. Since obtaining “MFRPS cooperative agreement” in 2015, NMED-EHB has made significant progress in conforming with the MFRPS by achieving conformance with five standards and through the expansion of staffing, has been able to begin providing assistance to new and existing food manufacturers throughout the state. In addition to having adequate resources and time to respond to questions, applications, plan reviews, operational plans, recalls, training requests, and fulfilling staff training requirements, NMED-EHB now also able to provide scientifically, risk-based inspections with a small team of properly trained and audited inspection staff. Raising the level of staffing and eduation/training of this team has proven immediately beneficial to NM-produced manufacturing as the team has discovered significant issues previously undiscovered by other staff conducting manufactured food inspections. Corrections are being handled in a timely manner in accordance with SOPs. NMED-EHB anticipates participation in the Flexible Funding Model Cooperative Agreement will result in further increasing the effectiveness of protecting public health nationwide and will result in full conformance with the MFRPS by the completion of Y2 of this agreement. After conformance is achieved in Y2, NMED-EHB anticipates maintaining conformance with the MFRPS through established monitoring practices and will strive to continually improve through envisioned continuous improvement initiatives. This will be oaccomplished by the following: • The State will achieve, monitor, and successfully sustain full conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) by completion of Y2; • The State will actively engage through an annual face-to-face meeting and participation in committees supporting MFRPS; • The State has and will collaboratively develop strategies and share those strategies with other states; • The State will provide FDA the foundation for pursuing regulatory action based upon the findings of State manufactured food regulatory programs; and • The State will seek to further enhance its capability to protect public health through development and implementation of Standard Enhancement Projects and continuous improvement initiatives. The goal of this project is to build a manufactured food program to protect consumers throughout the state and beyond. At minimum, absent major unforeseen difficulties, significant conformance will be attained with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards.

项目概要/摘要 鉴于新墨西哥州食品制造业的巨大影响，提供高质量、 基于食品安全科学原理的一致检查对于保护食品安全至关重要 新墨西哥人和全国乃至全世界的消费者。此外，能够 通过良好的方式识别并快速应对影响新墨西哥州的公共卫生事件 有计划和协调的快速反应小组（RRT）对于防止传播至关重要 和/或公共卫生相关事件的继续。 除了几家大型食品加工商在新墨西哥州 (NM) 开展业务外，还包括： 通用磨坊 (General Mills)、卡夫 (Kraft)、可口可乐 (Coca Cola)、圣达菲玉米饼公司 (Santa Fe Tortilla Company)、Bueno Foods、Border Foods 和 阿尔伯克基玉米饼公司、新墨西哥州环境部 (NMED-EHB) 寻求开始生产粮食的当地小型生产者数量大幅增加 制造业。 2015 年，NMED-EHB 发现无​​法跟上不断增长的数量 的问题和请求，以提供援助并与各个团体交谈或制定一个 符合 MFRPS 的程序。自2017年取得《MFRPS合作协议》以来 2015 年，NMED-EHB 在遵守 MFRPS 方面取得了重大进展，实现了 符合五项标准并通过扩大人员配置，已经能够开始 为全州新的和现有的食品制造商提供援助。 除了有足够的资源和时间来回答问题、申请、计划 审查、运营计划、召回、培训请求以及满足员工培训要求， NMED-EHB 现在还能够通过一个小团队提供科学的、基于风险的检查 经过适当培训和审核的检查人员。提高人员配备和教育/培训水平 事实证明，该团队的努力对 NM 生产的制造立即有益，因为该团队已 发现了其他工作人员以前未发现的重大问题 食品检查。正在按照SOP及时进行纠正。 NMED-EHB 预计参与灵活资助模式合作协议 将进一步提高保护全国公共卫生的有效性 本协议第 2 年完成后，将完全符合 MFRPS。后 在第 2 年实现了一致性，NMED-EHB 预计保持与 MFRPS 通过既定的监控实践，并将努力通过以下方式不断改进： 设想的持续改进举措。这将通过以下方式完成： • 纽约州将实现、监督并成功维持完全遵守 完成加工食品监管计划标准 (MFRPS) Y2； • 纽约州将通过年度面对面会议积极参与 参与支持 MFRPS 的委员会； • 国家已经并将合作制定战略并分享这些战略 与其他国家的战略； • 纽约州将为 FDA 提供基于监管行动的基础 根据国家制造食品监管计划的调查结果；和 • 国家将寻求进一步增强保护公众健康的能力 通过制定和实施标准增强项目以及 持续改进举措。 该项目的目标是建立一个制造食品计划，以保护整个过程中的消费者 国家及其他地区。至少，没有重大的不可预见的困难，显着的一致性 将通过加工食品监管计划标准来实现。
