罗得岛州维护和增强项目摘要/摘要 ISO/IEC 17025认证和国家食品检测的全基因组测序 实验室竞赛A申请 项目总结/摘要 罗得岛州卫生实验室（SHL）是州食品监管实验室 通过ISO/IEC 17025：2017实验室标准认证的FDA制造 食品监管计划（MFRPS）为州和联邦提供实验室支持 根据《食品安全现代化法》建立综合食品安全体系。SHL将 继续加强其食品检测计划，同时保持其认证， 它的食品微生物学和化学实验室。SHL旨在提高 为MFRPS计划收集和测试的样本数量， 与该州食品监管机构RIDOH中心的长期合作伙伴关系， 食品保护，以有效地提高国家的抽样协议的MFRPS。的 卫生福利及食物局致力提高化验所的能力，为 FDA同时通过以下方式保持符合MFRPS标准10 科学家的培训和系统的持续改进。SHL也将继续其 与RIDOH急性传染病中心的长期合作伙伴关系， 流行病学在食源性爆发调查期间提供实验室支持 和应急响应。SHL将继续与监管机构沟通 其他州的实验室提供了如何维持ISO 17025：2017的见解 食品检测认证，以实现自身的可持续性。SHL将继续 实施并满足FDA制定的电子格式要求， 对于或从eLEXNET。生福利及食物局会继续向食物安全局汇报所有食物样本的测试结果， 通过eLEXNET数据库。SHL将继续作为 食品紧急反应网络（FERN）成员和FDA微生物学 合作协议计划（MCAP）实验室。

Project Summary / Abstract for State of Rhode Island Maintenance and Enhancement of ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation and Whole Genome Sequencing for State Food Testing Laboratories Competition A Application Project Summary/Abstract The Rhode Island State Health Laboratories (SHL) is the state food regulatory laboratory accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory standards for the FDA Manufactured Food Regulatory Program (MFRPS) provides laboratory support to the state and federal integrated food safety system under the Food Safety Modernization Act. The SHL will continue enhancing its food testing program and while maintaining its accreditation for both of its food microbiology and chemistry laboratories. The SHL seeks to increase the number of samples collected and tested for the MFRPS program by leveraging its longstanding partnership with the state’s food regulatory agency, the RIDOH Center for Food Protection to effectively improve the state’s sampling agreement for MFRPS. The SHL seeks to increase the laboratories’ capacity to provide standardized food testing for the FDA while it maintains conformance with Standard Ten of the MFRPS through training of its scientists and continual systems improvement. SHL will also continue its longstanding partnership with the RIDOH Center for Acute Infectious Disease and Epidemiology to provide laboratory support during foodborne outbreak investigations and emergency response. The SHL will continue to communicate with regulatory laboratories in other states provide insight into how to sustain ISO 17025:2017 accreditation for food testing to achieve their own sustainability. The SHL will continue to implement and meet the electronic formatting requirements as they evolve from FDA for or from eLEXNET. The SHL will continue reporting all food sample test results to the FDA via the eLEXNET database. The SHL will continue its participation as a member of the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) and a FDA Microbiology Cooperative Agreement Program (MCAP) laboratory.
