An All Food Hazards Rapid Response Team Project Summary/Abstract The mission of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Food and Drug Branch's (FDB), Food Safety Program is to prevent and react to food and food-related problems and emergencies. We accomplish this with a combination of prevention efforts and active intervention and response throughout the entire food chain. Toward that end we have created the California Food Emergency Response Team, or CalFERT, an "All Food Hazards Rapid Response Team (RRT)," to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our response to food emergencies, whether unintentional or through purposeful acts. The primary objective of our proposed program is to further develop, implement, and sustain California's ability to rapidly respond to food and feed emergencies. This would entail the addition of three staff members from the funds authorized under this grant that will enhance the program's ability to conduct investigations utilizing the Incident Command System (ICS) and development of RRT protocols; the purchase of additional technical and sampling equipment and supplies; the development and provision of commodity-specific training courses; the strengthening of interagency collaboration, cooperation, and communication; achievement of compliance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), and; enhancement of coordination and interactions with other states' RRT programs. Accordingly, we are requesting $500,000 in grant funds for each of the next two years. This would augment current CDPH capabilities and provide the necessary infrastructure to conduct environmental investigations, tracebacks, and enforcement activities during food and feed emergencies, thereby improving our readiness to act in emergencies. Funding would also allow us to obtain the necessary training to sharpen our internal skill set, improve the availability of critical resources, increase information sharing among federal, state and local agencies, improve on succession planning and sustain the RRT beyond this grant period. An inability to develop and sustain California's RRT program would be detrimental to the state's Food Safety Program and would have national repercussions. California is the nation's largest producer of many important agricultural commodities including dairy, leafy greens, fruit, vegetable, and nut crops. A crisis impacting those commodities would negatively impact millions of consumers in California, the nation, and the world. This has been demonstrated by past national foodborne illness outbreaks that were traced back to California such as the 2006 E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks associated with spinach and lettuce that resulted in thousands of illnesses (when considering under-reporting). The economic impact of such food emergencies can cost hundreds of millions of dollars due to decreased demands for food commodities because of loss of consumer confidence in the food supply.

所有食品危害快速反应小组 项目总结/摘要 加州公共卫生部（CDPH）食品药品分支（FDB）的使命， 安全计划旨在预防和应对食品及食品相关问题和紧急情况。我们 通过预防努力与积极干预和反应相结合， 整个食物链。为此，我们成立了加州食品紧急反应小组， 或CalFERT，一个“所有食品危害快速反应小组（RRT）”，以提高效率， 我们对粮食紧急情况的反应的有效性，无论是无意的还是通过有目的的行为。 我们提出的计划的主要目标是进一步发展，实施和维持加州的 快速应对粮食和饲料紧急情况的能力。这将需要增加三名工作人员 成员从基金授权根据这项赠款，将提高该计划的能力，进行 利用事故指挥系统（ICS）进行调查，并制定RRT协议; 购买更多的技术和取样设备和用品;开发和提供 针对具体商品的培训课程;加强机构间协作、合作， 沟通;实现符合食品制造监管计划标准 （MFRPS），以及;加强与其他州RRT方案的协调和互动。 因此，我们要求在今后两年中每年提供50万美元的赠款。这将 增强当前CDPH的能力并提供必要的基础设施来进行环境保护 在食品和饲料紧急情况下的调查、追溯和执法活动， 提高我们在紧急情况下采取行动的准备程度。资金也将使我们能够获得必要的 培训，以提高我们的内部技能，改善关键资源的可用性，增加信息 在联邦、州和地方机构之间共享，改进继任计划并维持RRT 在这段时间内， 如果不能发展和维持加州的RRT项目，将对该州的食品安全造成不利影响。 安全计划，并将产生全国性的影响。加州是美国最大的 许多重要的农产品，包括乳制品、绿叶蔬菜、水果、蔬菜和坚果作物。一 影响这些商品的危机将对加州的数百万消费者产生负面影响， 国家，和世界。过去全国性食源性疾病暴发已经证明了这一点， 追溯到加州，如2006年E。大肠杆菌O 157：H7爆发与菠菜和 生菜导致成千上万的疾病（考虑到漏报）。的经济影响 由于粮食需求的减少， 这是因为消费者对食品供应失去信心。
