Project Summary/Abstract Given the large impact of New Mexico’s food manufacturing industry, providing high quality, consistent inspections based on the scientific principles of food safety is paramount to protecting New Mexicans and consumers throughout the nation and world. Furthermore, the ability to identify and respond quickly to public health events impacting New Mexico through a well- planned and coordinated Rapid Response Team (RRT) is paramount to preventing the spread and/or continuation of public health related events. In addition to Several large food processors have operations in New Mexico (NM) including: General Mills, Kraft, Coca Cola, Santa Fe Tortilla Company, Bueno Foods, Border Foods, and Albuquerque Tortilla Company, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED-EHB) has experienced a substantial surge in the number of small local producers seeking to begin food manufacturing. In 2015 NMED-EHB identified an inability to keep up with the growing number of questions and requests to provide assistance and speak to various groups or to develop a program conforming with the MFRPS. Since obtaining “MFRPS cooperative agreement” in 2015, NMED-EHB has made significant progress in conforming with the MFRPS by achieving conformance with five standards and through the expansion of staffing, has been able to begin providing assistance to new and existing food manufacturers throughout the state. In addition to having adequate resources and time to respond to questions, applications, plan reviews, operational plans, recalls, training requests, and fulfilling staff training requirements, NMED-EHB now also able to provide scientifically, risk-based inspections with a small team of properly trained and audited inspection staff. Raising the level of staffing and education/training of this team has proven immediately beneficial to NM-produced manufacturing as the team has discovered significant issues previously undiscovered by other staff conducting manufactured food inspections. Corrections are being handled in a timely manner in accordance with SOPs. NMED-EHB anticipates participation in the Flexible Funding Model Cooperative Agreement will result in further increasing the effectiveness of protecting public health nationwide and will result in full conformance with the MFRPS by the completion of Y1 of this agreement. After conformance is achieved in Y1, NMED-EHB anticipates maintaining conformance with the MFRPS through established monitoring practices and will strive to continually improve through envisioned continuous improvement initiatives. This will be accomplished by the following: • The State will achieve, monitor, and successfully sustain full conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) by completion of Y1; • The State will actively engage through an annual face-to-face meeting and participation in committees supporting MFRPS; • The State has and will collaboratively develop strategies and share those strategies with other states; • The State will provide FDA the foundation for pursuing regulatory action based upon the findings of State manufactured food regulatory programs; and • The State will seek to further enhance its capability to protect public health through development and implementation of Standard Enhancement Projects and continuous improvement initiatives. The goal of this project is to build a manufactured food program to protect consumers throughout the state and beyond. At minimum, absent major unforeseen difficulties, significant conformance will be attained with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards.

项目总结/摘要 鉴于新墨西哥州食品制造业的巨大影响，提供高质量， 基于食品安全科学原则的持续检查对于保护 新墨西哥人和消费者在全国和世界各地。此外，能够 通过一口井，识别并迅速应对影响新墨西哥州的公共卫生事件， 计划和协调的快速反应小组（RRT）对于防止传播至关重要 和/或公共卫生相关事件的延续。 除了几家大型食品加工商在新墨西哥州（NM）的业务，包括： 通用米尔斯，卡夫，可口可乐，圣达菲玉米饼公司，米科诺斯食品，边境食品，和 阿尔伯克基玉米饼公司，新墨西哥州环境部（NMED-EHB） 当地小生产者的数量大幅增加，他们寻求开始食品生产， 制造业2015年，NMED-EHB发现无法跟上不断增长的数量 提出问题和请求，向各团体提供援助和发言，或制定一个 符合MFRPS的程序。自2004年获得“MFRPS合作协议”以来， 2015年，NMED-EHB在符合MFRPS方面取得了重大进展， 符合五项标准，并通过扩大人员配置，已能够开始 为全国新的和现有的食品制造商提供帮助。 除了有足够的资源和时间来回答问题，申请，计划 审查、运营计划、召回、培训请求和满足员工培训要求， NMED-EHB现在也能够提供科学的，基于风险的检查， 经过适当培训和审核的检查人员。提高人员配备和教育/培训水平 事实证明，该团队的团队已经立即对NM生产的制造业产生了好处，因为该团队已经 发现了其他工作人员以前未发现的重大问题， 食品检查。根据SOP及时处理纠正措施。 NMED-EHB预计将参与灵活资助模式合作协议 将进一步提高保护全国公众健康的有效性， 在本协议的第一年完成时完全符合MFRPS。后 在Y1中实现了一致性，NMED-EHB预计将保持与 MFRPS通过既定的监测做法，并将努力不断改进， 设想了持续改进的举措。这将通过以下方式实现： ·国家将实现、监测和成功地维持全面遵守 制造食品监管计划标准（MFRPS） Y1; ·国家将通过年度面对面会议积极参与， 参加支持小额供资和小额供资政策的委员会; ·国家已经并将合作制定战略并分享这些战略 与其他国家的战略; ·州政府将为FDA提供依据， 根据国家制造食品监管计划的调查结果;以及 ·国家将努力进一步加强其保护公众健康的能力 通过制定和实施标准改进项目， 持续改进举措。 该项目的目标是建立一个制造食品计划，以保护消费者在整个 国家和超越。至少，如果没有重大的不可预见的困难， 将通过《制成品监管计划标准》实现。
