Development of a web-based traceback tool: Traceability Regulatory Collaboration

摘要 美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）法规事务办公室（ORA） 宣布可根据有限责任公司授予的合作协议 促进长期改进的竞争 国家食品安全体系，建立国家、地方、部落和 地方食品安全机构进行检查，检查， 根据FD&C法案第702条进行调查和相关食品安全活动。 作为一个国家食品和饲料监管实体，明尼苏达州农业部 (MDA)有资格申请本合作协议。MDA致力于改善 通过发展应对食源性疾病暴发的能力， 管理对需要产品追踪的调查作出反应的创新战略 或追溯调查以确定爆发的源头。这将是 通过建立基于Web的可追溯性系统的业务需求来实现 根据地方、州和联邦食品安全实体的需要， 基线评估和建立评估追溯和爆发的指标 反应;测量和比较系统前后的反应 执行;开发网上追溯系统;开展培训 利用该系统进行调查管理的材料;完成数据交换 系统和FDA之间的沟通;使用 分发系统执行指南， 材料和最佳实践指导全国各地的其他食品安全实体。 MDA广泛参与州和国家改善食品安全体系的努力。 它将利用这些伙伴关系与联邦，州和地方食品安全实体， 学术机构;专业协会（AFDO、IAFP、NEHA等）; 明尼苏达州食品安全和国防工作队等州倡议; 包括FDA快速反应小组和食品伙伴关系在内的举措 保护，使这些能力和能力的改进和分享进步 在全国这些地区。

Abstract The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) has announced the availability of cooperative agreements to be awarded under Limited Competition to facilitate long-term improvements to facilitate long-term improvements to the national food safety system by building the capacity of state, local, tribal, and territorial food safety agencies to undertake examinations, inspections, and investigations and related food safety activities under section 702 of the FD&C Act. As a state food and feed regulatory entity, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is eligible to apply for this Cooperative Agreement. MDA seeks to improve capability and capacity to respond to foodborne illness outbreaks by developing innovative strategies to manage response to investigations that require product tracing or a traceback investigation to determine the source of an outbreak. This will be accomplished by establishing business requirements for a web-based tracebility system based on the needs of local, state, and federal food safety entities; conducting a baseline assessment and establishing metrics for assessing a traceback and outbreak response; measuring and comparing the responses pre- and post-system implementation; developing a web-based traceback system; developing training materials for investigation management using the system; completing a data exchange between the system and FDA; hosting a multi-jurisdictional tabletop exercise using the system; and disseminating a system implementation guide, associated training materials, and best practice guidance to other food safety entities across the nation. MDA is broadly engaged in state and national efforts to improve the food safety system. It will employ these partnerships with federal, state, and local food safety entities and academic institutions; professional associations (AFDO, IAFP, NEHA, among others); state initiatives like the Minnesota Food Safety and Defense Task Force; and national initiatives, including the FDA Rapid Response Teams and Partnership for Food Protection, to make these capability and capacity improvements and to share advances in these areas nation-wide.
