Project Summary/Abstract The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) established a uniform foundation for management of state programs responsible for the regulation of manufactured food facilities, including laboratory analysis for chemical and microbiological contaminants. Based on the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) 2011 Improvement Plan Report, needs were determined and a five-year FDA cooperative agreement was awarded to obtain accreditation. This new 2019 cooperative agreement is for an additional year in order to expand upon the maintenance and enhancement of our accreditation, providing the GDA’s primary servicing lab the necessary resources to adopt and implement international standards. Furthermore, the labs would be assessed or audited to these standard (ISO/IEC 17025) requirements by a third-party accrediting body. GDA laboratories recently achieved accreditation which assists their regulatory agencies in compliance requirements for contractual work on behalf of FDA. In order for GDA laboratories to maintain their accreditation, funding is now being requested through the ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation Maintenance and Enhancement for State Food Testing Laboratories (Competition A) RFA to offset the added expense of required Quality Assurance activities as well as the ongoing upkeep of critical analytical equipment. For state partners to assume added responsibility for Global Food Safety initiatives, further enhancement and enrichment will be necessary for the primary servicing labs’ analytical capability to meet these goals. In part to achieve these goals, the laboratory will rely upon the established relationships with our regulatory agency and their agreement to collect and analyze samples under MFRPS. GDA has already developed and demonstrated successful relationships with their regulatory partners and ability to fulfill this objective. In addition, signed agreements have been forged to collect a minimum of 110 additional MFRP samples to be analyzed for contaminants. These results will be submitted in a national database repository and violative adulterations will be subject to appropriate regulatory action. If awarded, this cooperative agreement will allow GDA laboratories to maintain the current accreditation to ISO standards, as well as the ability to continue collecting and analyzing samples to support an integrated national food safety system.

项目摘要/摘要 制造食品监管程序标准(MFRPS)为 管理负责管理人工食品设施的国家方案，包括 化学和微生物污染物的实验室分析。基于佐治亚州的 农业(GDA)2011年改进计划报告，确定需求和FDA的五年期 授予了合作协议以获得认证。这份2019年的新合作协议是 再延长一年，以扩大维持和加强我们的认证， 为GDA的主要服务实验室提供必要的资源，以采用和实施国际 标准。此外，将按照这些标准对实验室进行评估或审计(国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025) 第三方认证机构的要求。GDA实验室最近获得了认证 代表FDA协助其监管机构满足合同工作的合规要求。 为了使GDA实验室保持其认证，现正通过以下途径申请资金 国家食品检测实验室国际标准化组织/国际电工委员会17025认证的维护与加强 (竞赛A)RFA以抵消所需质量保证活动的额外费用以及 关键分析设备的持续维护。让国家合作伙伴承担额外的责任 全球食品安全倡议，将有必要进一步加强和丰富初级 服务实验室的分析能力，以实现这些目标。为了部分实现这些目标，该实验室将 依靠与我们的监管机构建立的关系和他们的协议来收集和 在MFRPS下分析样品。GDA已经发展并展示了成功的关系 与他们的监管合作伙伴和实现这一目标的能力。此外，签署的协议还包括 被伪造，以收集至少110个额外的MFRP样本进行污染物分析。 这些结果将被提交到国家数据库存储库中，违规掺假将被 受到适当的监管行动的制约。如果获奖，这份合作协议将允许GDA 实验室保持当前对ISO标准的认可，以及继续 收集和分析样本，以支持一体化的国家食品安全体系。
