Achieving a Nationally Integrated Food Safety System: ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditati

实现国家统一的食品安全体系：国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025 康涅狄格州农业实验站(CAES)的认证 项目摘要-康涅狄格州农业试验站(CAES)部 分析化学(DAC)在食品安全研究方面已有137年的历史，其中包括7年的 FDA食品应急网络(FERN)化学合作社成员 协议计划(CCAP)。除了作为康涅狄格州唯一的实验室， 对于MFRPS计划，CAES DAC进行了更广泛的监测和 监测方案，确保食品处于CT状态下的安全。这项提议的目标是 获得必要的资金和专业知识，使CAES DAC能够实现ISO/IEC 17025：2005年通过美国实验室认可协会认证 (A2LA)。 认证范围将包括CAES DAC市场篮子计划。这 该计划与CT消费者保护部(DCP)协调进行 并包括FDA MFRPS计划。DCP每年收集多达250个食物样本。 检查人员，并被带到CAES DAC进行化学分析。具体地说，范围将 介绍内部提取和消化程序的验证和实施 有机污染物和元素，包括重金属的测定 加工食品和新鲜食品。所有样品萃取物将同时用气相色谱分析。 气相色谱-质谱联用(GC/MS/MS)和高效液相色谱法 用质谱仪(LC-MS)检测。LC分析将通过LC/MS/MS或 采用高分辨率LC-MS进行准确的质量测定。最后，在适当的情况下，选择 制造和新鲜食品样品将通过电感耦合等离子体质谱进行分析 采用电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICPMS)进行元素测定。需要分析的食品基质 此认证的范围是我们的市场篮子调查中通常遇到的那些， 包括果汁、苹果酒、婴儿食品和其他加工水果/蔬菜。该范围还将 涵盖新鲜商品，其中许多是制造食品的原料，例如 苹果、葡萄、梨、精选蔬菜和香草。 CAES DAC已经证明了其专业知识、能力和适应性，可以完全满足 这项提案的目标。获得这一奖项将极大地提高 CAES DAC以实现RFA中规定的计划目标，如总统的食物所述 安全工作组，并根据《食品安全现代化法》的要求。

Achieving a Nationally Integrated Food Safety System: ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) Project Summary- The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) Department of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) has a 137-year history of food safety research, including 7 years as a member of the FDA Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) Chemistry Cooperative Agreement Program (cCAP). In addition to being the sole laboratory in Connecticut providing chemical testing for the MFRPS program, the CAES DAC conducts a broader surveillance and monitoring program to ensure the safety of food in the state of CT. The goal of this proposal is to acquire the necessary funding and expertise to enable the CAES DAC to achieve ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation through the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). The scope of accreditation will cover the CAES DAC Market Basket program. This program is conducted in coordination with the CT Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) and includes the FDA MFRPS Program. Up to 250 food samples are collected annually by DCP inspectors and brought to the CAES DAC for chemical analysis. Specifically, the scope will cover the validation and implementation of in-house extraction and digestion procedures for the determination of both organic contaminants and elements, including heavy metals, in both manufactured and fresh foods. All sample extracts will be analyzed simultaneously by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS/MS) and by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS). The LC analysis will be by either by LC/MS/MS or by a High Resolution LC-MS for exact mass determination. Last, where appropriate, select manufactured and fresh food samples will be analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) for element determination. The food matrices to be analyzed under the scope of this accreditation are those typically encountered in our Market Basket survey, which includes juices, ciders, baby food, and other processed fruits/vegetables. The scope will also cover fresh commodities, many of which are the source material for manufactured foods, such as apples, grapes, pears, select vegetables, and herbs. The CAES DAC has demonstrated the expertise, capability, and adaptability to fully meet the objectives of this proposal. Receipt of this award will significantly enhance the ability of the CAES DAC to meet the program goals laid out in the RFA, as described by the President's Food Safety Working Group, and as required by the Food Safety Modernization act.
