LDAF/ LSU AgCenter Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory Enhancement of Capabilities to Support an Integrated Food Safety System Through Testing Activities in Areas of Microbiology & Chemistry

总体摘要 农业化学实验室有兴趣测试动物食品产品， 微生物和化学成分，以帮助加强综合食品安全系统 由FDA建立。拟议的多方面项目将有助于加强和改善 FDA为预防食源性疾病和减少食源性暴露所做的努力， 实验室能力，以国家综合实验室科学系统。的拨款外 该合作协议将有助于为农业化学实验室配备 可用于建立和增加样品吞吐量的额外资源， 我们国家的能力。目前，我们与LDAF饲料计划和组织的联系 基础设施作为法定授权的路易斯安那州国家实验室，使农业 化学实验室非常适合接收和分析全州范围内收集的食品样品。 此外，农业化学实验室（ISO 17025-2017认证）拥有所有 相关的分析设备以及经验丰富和称职的人员， 为这个全国综合实验室科学系统保持高质量的数据。资金来源于此 合作协议将提高我们的能力和能力，以帮助加强FDA的 综合食品安全体系。

OVERALL ABSTARCT The Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory is interested in testing animal food products for both microbiological and chemical constituents to help bolster the integrated food safety system established by the FDA. The proposed multifaceted project will help strengthen and improve FDA’s efforts to prevent foodborne illnesses and minimize foodborne exposures by adding our laboratory capabilities to a nationally integrated laboratory science system. The funding from this cooperative agreement will help to equip the Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory with additional resources that can be used to build and increase sample throughput capacity and capability for our state. Currently, our connection to the LDAF Feed program and organizational infrastructure as the statutorily mandated state laboratory for Louisiana makes the Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory well suited to receive and analyze food samples collected statewide. Additionally, the Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory (ISO 17025-2017 accredited) houses all pertinent analytical equipment as well as experienced and competent personnel needed to maintain quality data for this nationally integrated laboratory science system. Funding from this cooperative agreement would increase our capacity and capability to help strengthen the FDA’s integrated food safety system.
