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.

项目摘要/摘要 鉴于新墨西哥州食品制造业的巨大影响，提供高质量， 根据食品安全的科学原则进行持续的检查对保护 新墨西哥人和全国和世界各地的消费者。此外，能够 通过一口井快速识别和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/或继续进行与公共卫生有关的活动。 除了几家大型食品加工商在新墨西哥州的业务外，还包括： 通用磨坊，卡夫，可口可乐，圣达菲玉米饼公司，Bueno食品，边界食品，和 阿尔伯克基玉米饼公司，新墨西哥州环境部(NMED-EHB) 经历了寻求开始生产食品的当地小型生产者数量的大幅激增 制造业。2015年，NMED-EHB发现无法跟上不断增长的数字 一系列的问题和请求，以提供援助并向不同的团体发言或制定 符合MFRPS的程序。自#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，实现了 符合五个标准，并通过扩大人员编制，已经能够开始 为全州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、应用程序、计划 评审、运营计划、召回、培训请求和满足员工培训要求； NMED-EHB现在还能够通过一个小型团队提供科学的、基于风险的检查 经过适当培训和审计的检查人员。提高人员配置和教育/培训水平 已经被证明对NM生产的制造立即有益，就像团队所做的那样 发现以前未被其他员工发现的重大问题 食品检验。正在根据标准作业程序及时处理纠正工作。 NMED-EHB预计将参与灵活筹资模式合作协议 将进一步提高全国范围内保护公共健康的有效性，并将 在完成本协议的第一年时，完全符合MFRPS。之后 合规性在Y1实现，NMED-EHB预计保持与 MFRPS通过既定的监测做法，并将努力通过以下方式不断改进 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、监测并成功保持完全符合 完成的加工食品监管程序标准(MFRPS) Y1； ·国家将通过年度面对面会议和 参加支持MFRPS的委员会； ·国家已经并将协作制定战略并分享这些战略 与其他国家的战略； ·国家将为FDA提供基础，以采取基于 根据国家制造的食品监管项目的调查结果；以及 ·国家将寻求进一步提高其保护公共健康的能力 通过开发和实施标准增强项目和 持续改进的举措。 这个项目的目标是建立一个人工食品计划，以保护整个消费者 国家和更远的地方。至少，没有重大的不可预见的困难，显著的一致性 将达到制造食品监管计划标准。
