The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is the lead state agency for human food safety with authority to oversee all segments of the farm- to-fork continuum. The over-arching goal and vision in Michigan is to maintain a high- quality regulatory food program and to improve the effective working relationships with the FDA-ORA OHAFO HAFE6, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan's 45 Local Health Departments, academia, and industry stakeholders. The grant opportunity would allow Michigan to improve its capabilities to help advance a national integrated food safety system by continuing to maintain full conformance and implementation with Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards and to foster collaboration in food safety with stakeholders utilizing the Food Protection Task Force.
