California Department of Food and Agriculture, Egg Safety and Quality Management Program application for Conformance with the Egg Regulatory Program Standards, Cooperative Agreement.

项目摘要 RFA-FD-22-006 食品和农业部（CDFA）支持鸡蛋安全和质量 管理（ESQM）计划，该计划处于有利地位，可以参与鸡蛋监管 计划标准（ERPS）的实施。ESQM计划处于独特的地位， 参与ERPS的初步开发，沿着爱荷华州和 美国美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）。这三年多的综合经验， ERPS为ESQM提供了一个继续和扩展工作的绝佳机会， 保持一致性，提高食品安全和优质消费品目标， CDFA和ESQM的使命。 根据FDA在本合作协议项下的预期结果，ESQM 致力于ERPS目标，以评估和建立ESQM监管基础， 帮助开发和实施电子信息共享 议定书，加强采取监管行动和疫情调查的基础， 改善鸡蛋生产者的EQM推广和教育，并保持承诺， 全面遵守和整合ERPS。 通过这次资助机会，ESQM将聘请环境科学家（ES）完成 ERPS标准，这将需要对该计划和行动计划进行全面的自我评估， 作出改进，以弥补可查明的差距。ES将领导ESQM计划 通过所有的改进计划步骤，以实现全面实施。环境 科学家将与FDA合作起草方案和协议，以实现 电子信息共享。这些目标的实施，进一步改进， 并促进ERPS作为国家综合食品安全系统。

Project Summary RFA-FD-22-006 The Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) supports the Egg Safety and Quality Management (ESQM) program which is well positioned to participate in the Egg Regulatory Program Standards (ERPS) implementation. The ESQM program was in the unique position of being involved in the initial development of the ERPS, cooperatively, along with Iowa and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This three-plus year comprehensive experience with ERPS allows ESQM an excellent opportunity to continue and expand the work, while maintaining consistency and enhancing the food safety and quality consumer product goals and missions of CDFA and ESQM. In congruity with the FDA’s desired outcomes under this Cooperative Agreement, ESQM is dedicated to the ERPS goals to assess and build on the ESQM regulatory foundation, contribute to the improvement of the ERPS, help develop and implement electronic information sharing protocols, strengthen a foundation for pursuing regulatory actions and outbreak investigations, improve the ESQM outreach and education for egg producers and maintain a commitment to complete compliance and integration of the ERPS. Through this funding opportunity, ESQM will hire an Environmental Scientist (ES) to complete the ERPS Standards, which will entail a full self-assessment of the program and action plans for making improvements to close the identifiable gaps. The ES would lead the ESQM program through all the improvement plan steps to achieve full implementation. The Environmental Scientist will work with the FDA to draft protocols and agreements in order to fulfill the goal of electronic information sharing. These goals target the implementation, further improvement, and promotion of the ERPS as a national integrated food safety system.
