New Jersey Food Testing Program - Food Safety and Defense (2020-2025): Overall Abstract The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) Public Health and Environmental Laboratories (PHEL) is pursuing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cooperative agreement program focused on improving the capability and capacity of NJ to maintain food safety in support of FDA priorities. This initiative is achieved by testing foods for microbiological, chemical, and radiological contaminants while further integrating the three analytical disciplines into a unified food testing program to effectively respond to any foodborne outbreaks and contaminations. To address these tasks, NJDOH is proposing a New Jersey Food Testing Program (NJFTP) and committing to achieving the overall project goals of enhancing food defense in NJ and improving food testing capabilities and capacity for NJFTP. Specifically, NJFTP will participate in: 1) triage exercises and surveillance activities, 2) national security events, 3) testing associated with credible or suspected threats to food supply 4) other food defense/food safety assignments and proficiency tests 5) training seminars, conferences, and teleconferences, and 6) group testing, functional exercises, and results reporting. Additionally, NJFTP proposes the following five initiatives to further support and assist in its mission: 1) analyzing pre-packaged bags of lettuce for the presence of Escherichia coli O157/Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella species with characterization of the microorganisms by biochemical analysis and whole genome sequencing (WGS); 2) conducting WGS on historical Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates recovered from local clam and oyster harvests 3) testing various commercially available food items collected from retail stores in NJ to survey microbiological (Francisella tularensis, Burkholderia sp., Brucella sp., Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis), chemical (toxic elements, toxins/poisons, and pesticides), and radiochemical (low-level iodine-131, gamma emitters, Cs-137, I- 131, and alpha/beta emitters such as Am/Pu and Sr-90) contaminants, 4) developing methods to expand the capabilities to quantify pesticides in fruit- and vegetable-based beverages and low-level I-131 in milk, and 5) expand sample throughput capacity throughout PHEL. The test results will be relayed to the FDA and other regulatory agencies to initiate investigations and remove potentially harmful products from the market. By conducting the work detailed in this proposal and managing an integrated food safety system, NJDOH will be able to expand its food defense activities while further safeguarding public health and supporting FDA priorities by providing our federal and State partners with critical microbial, chemical, and radiological contaminant data they can use to enhance their own food defense practices.

新泽西食品测试计划-食品安全和防御（2020-2025）：总体 摘要 新泽西卫生部（NJDOH）公共卫生和环境实验室（PHEL） 美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）合作协议计划，重点是改善 新泽西州维护食品安全以支持FDA优先事项的能力。这一举措实现了 通过检测食品中的微生物、化学和放射性污染物，同时进一步整合这三者， 分析学科纳入统一的食品检测计划，以有效应对任何食源性疫情， 污染。为了解决这些任务，NJDOH提出了一个新泽西食品测试计划（NJFTP） 并致力于实现加强新泽西州食品防御和改善食品检测的总体项目目标 NJFTP的能力和容量。 具体而言，NJFTP将参与：1）分类演习和监视活动，2）国家安全活动， 3)与食品供应的可信或可疑威胁相关的检测4）其他食品防御/食品安全 作业和能力测试5）培训研讨会、会议和电话会议，以及6）小组测试， 职能活动和成果报告。此外，NJFTP还提出了以下五项举措，以进一步 支持和协助其使命：1）分析预先包装的生菜袋中是否存在大肠杆菌 产O 157/志贺毒素大肠埃希菌（STEC）和沙门氏菌属， 通过生化分析和全基因组测序（WGS）对微生物进行WGS; 2）对 从本地蚬和蚝收成回收的创伤弧菌和副溶血弧菌历史分离株 3)测试从新泽西州零售商店收集的各种市售食品以调查微生物 （土拉热弗朗西丝氏菌，伯克霍尔德氏菌属，布鲁氏菌属，炭疽杆菌、鼠疫耶尔森氏菌）、化学（毒性 元素、毒素/毒物和杀虫剂）和放射化学（低水平碘-131、伽马发射体、铯-137、碘-133、碘-134、碘-135、碘-13 131和α/β发射体，如Am/Pu和Sr-90）污染物，4）开发方法以扩大 能够量化水果和蔬菜饮料中的农药以及牛奶中的低水平I-131，以及5） 扩大整个PHEL的样品吞吐量。 测试结果将被转发给FDA和其他监管机构，以启动调查并删除 市场上潜在的有害产品。通过开展本提案中详述的工作并管理 综合食品安全系统，NJDOH将能够扩大其食品防御活动，同时进一步保障 通过向我们的联邦和州合作伙伴提供关键微生物， 化学和放射性污染物的数据，他们可以用来加强自己的食品防御措施。
