FDA Recall Cooperative Agreement (U18) RFA-FD-12-026 Proposal Abstract The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) seeks funding from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under RFA-12-026. The funding level requested is for $300,000 for a three year period. The title of our proposal is: "The Development of a Comprehensive Food Recall System." If awarded, WSDA will hire a full-time project Recall Coordinator to enhance and expand the agency's efforts in protecting public health. Currently WSDA handles recalls in response to human illness reports that are associated with a product, or in response to pathogen findings in food or feed products. With each recall, one or more of our existing managers shift from their regular duties to handle the interface with the affected processor/distributor, in order to aid them with their information collection, their Reportable Food or Feed Registration (RFR) responsibilities, and other details that go into an effective recall. In effect, our managers take on the role of a recall coordinator. Whenever a manager is pulled away from their day-to-day activities other important work is delayed or goes undone. In addition, many times WSDA has needed to request the FDA Seattle District office to assist firms with recalls, even if there is no interstate commerce of product. In addition, WSDA's limited strategy on allergens has been to issue compliance warning letters to firms that fail to meet allergen requirements. Those warning letters are then provided to FDA who may initiate their own inspection, resulting in recalls due to continued non-compliance concerns. Thru this award WSDA could develop an active allergen recall thereby further protecting public health. WSDA has long worked with other state agencies to improve our effectiveness on recalls. One important example of this is our sustained effort over the past two years to improve food processor, local health jurisdiction, and academic knowledge on how food recalls are accomplished in the state of Washington. Food processors and warehouse operators who have a better understanding of how effective recalls are undertaken are more likely to reduce everyone's workload, if and when they need to conduct a food recall. This knowledge also helps to make the recalls more efficient and effective. In September 2010, and early 2012, WSDA teamed up with the FDA Seattle District Office, the Washington State Department of Health, Washington State University's Food Science Program, and leading Washington food industry businesses to present five workshops focused solely on the "hows and whys" of food safety recalls. This training was so well received, with over 175 attendees participating, WSDA plans to repeat the workshop in 2013. The eight hour food recall workshops completed to date were accomplished with funding from two FDA Food Protection Conference grants, many volunteer hours, and teamwork between WSDA and key players involved in food recalls across our state. While our efforts to get the word out on the need to be prepared for food safety recalls is important, our agency must improve its own ability to handle all aspects of these recalls with the same level of expertise and thoroughness we seek from the industry we regulate. A new full-time Recall Coordinator will eliminate the ad hoc basis we now use to handle recalls. If we receive this award, we plan on focusing our effort on implementing Standards 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) as they pertain to allergen inspections, recalls, compliance and industry outreach. In particular, we will improve our recordkeeping and complete a much more thorough follow through on food recalls. We will also initiate a new and aggressive response and compliance strategy to WSDA inspectional findings of undeclared allergens, particularly in our food processors with intrastate only product distribution. This will dramatically improve our recall effectiveness and protect public health.

FDA召回合作协议（U18）RFA-FD-12-026 提案摘要 华盛顿州农业部（WSDA）向美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）寻求资金。 根据RFA-12-026，药品监督管理局（FDA）。所要求的供资数额为30万美元， 三年期间。我们提案的标题是： “建立全面的食品召回制度。" 如果获奖，WSDA将聘请一名全职项目召回协调员，以加强和扩大 该机构在保护公众健康方面的努力。目前，WSDA处理召回，以应对人类 与产品相关的疾病报告，或对食品中病原体发现的反应，或 饲料产品。每一次召回，我们现有的一名或多名经理都会从他们的日常职责中转移 处理与受影响的处理器/分销商的接口，以帮助他们 信息收集、应通报食品或饲料注册（RFR）责任以及其他 这些细节可以有效地回忆起来。实际上，我们的经理承担了召回的角色 协调员很当一个经理被从他们的日常活动中拉出来时， 工作延误或未完成。此外，WSDA多次要求FDA 西雅图地区办事处协助公司召回，即使没有州际贸易的产品。 此外，WSDA关于过敏原的有限策略是向以下人员发出合规警告信： 不符合过敏原要求的公司。这些警告信随后被提供给FDA， 可能会启动自己的检查，导致因持续的不合规问题而召回。 通过这一奖项，WSDA可以制定一个积极的过敏原召回，从而进一步保护公众 健康 WSDA长期以来一直与其他州机构合作，以提高我们在召回方面的效率。一 这方面的一个重要例子是，我们在过去两年不断努力改进食品加工机， 地方卫生管辖权，以及关于如何在食品召回完成的学术知识， 华盛顿州。食品加工商和仓库操作员谁有更好的了解 更有可能减少每个人的工作量，如果和何时 他们需要进行食品召回这些知识也有助于提高召回的效率 性和有效性2010年9月和2012年初，WSDA与FDA西雅图区合作， 办公室，华盛顿州卫生部，华盛顿州立大学的食品科学 计划，并领导华盛顿食品工业企业提出五个讲习班的重点 只关注食品安全召回的“方式和原因”。这次培训非常受欢迎， 175名与会者参加了研讨会，WSDA计划在2013年再次举办研讨会。八小时的食物 到目前为止，召回研讨会已经完成，由两个FDA食品保护局提供资金。 会议赠款，许多志愿者小时，以及WSDA和主要参与者之间的团队合作 在我们州的食品召回中。 虽然我们努力宣传为食品安全召回做好准备的必要性很重要， 我们的机构必须提高自己的能力，以同样的水平处理这些召回的所有方面， 专业知识和彻底性，我们从我们监管的行业寻求。新的全职召回 协调员将取消我们现在用来处理召回的临时基础。如果我们得到这个奖， 我们计划集中精力实施《制成品标准》第3、5、6和7条。 监管计划标准（MFRPS），因为它们涉及过敏原检查、召回、 合规和行业外联。特别是，我们将改进我们的记录保存，并完成一个 对食品召回进行更彻底的跟进。我们还将发起一个新的积极的 对WSDA未申报过敏原检查结果的响应和合规策略， 特别是在我们的食品加工厂，只有州内的产品分销。这将大大 提高召回效率，保护公众健康。
