2022 AAFCO Laboratory Methods and Services Workshop

项目摘要 2022年AAFCO实验室方法和服务研讨会 PAR 19-306 美国饲料控制官员协会（AAFCO）是一个自愿会员 由州和联邦机构组成的协会，依法负责管理销售和分销 动物饲料和动物药物。 2020年，AAFCO危害和污染物小组委员会和实验室 方法和服务委员会（LMSC）向国家农业监管机构发送了一份调查报告。 识别动物食品监管机构关注的危害和污染物的计划。基于 根据调查结果，AAFCO LMSC在2021年进行了实验室能力调查， 州农业实验室评估方法、培训和资源需求， 确定监管计划确定的危害/污染物的差距。 LMSC成立了工作组，以解决查明的差距，以便能够协助国家 农业测试实验室，以满足其国家监管计划的需要。从 这项调查，国家监管计划确定，检测病原体，如 沙门氏菌、单核细胞增生李斯特菌和大肠杆菌O 157：H7是重要的致病菌。而 存在检测和鉴定病原体的方法（FDA BAM，AOAC官方 方法），对动物性食品中某些令人关注的病原体的检测和分离进行了培训， 在几个国家农业测试实验室中被确定为需要。 为了解决实验室能力调查确定的这一需求和差距，AAFCO LMSC提议举办一个为期3天半的微生物动手研讨会。基本 研讨会将包括关于检测，隔离， 以及动物性食品中细菌性病原体的确认。参与者将了解他们的角色， 公共卫生调查，可辩护数据的含义以及如何呈现可辩护数据 包装、实验室安全和标准方法。与会者将有机会 执行微生物方法检测、分离和确认沙门氏菌， 单核细胞增生李斯特菌和大肠杆菌O 157：H7从各种动物性食品中使用 标准方法，如FDA细菌学分析手册（BAM）和AOAC官方 方法. 我们认为，这一培训课程将使AAFCO能够协助食品和药物管理局， 管理，监管事务办公室的使命，以保护消费者和提高公众 为国家动物饲料实验室提供培训，以促进公共卫生， 安全为代价的

Project Summary 2022 AAFCO Laboratory Methods and Services Workshop PAR 19-306 The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a voluntary membership association of state and federal agencies charged by law to regulate the sale and distribution of animal feeds and animal drug remedies. In 2020, the AAFCO Hazards and Contaminants sub-committee and the Laboratory Methods and Services Committee (LMSC) sent a survey to State Agriculture regulatory programs to identify hazards and contaminants of concern to animal food regulators. Based on the results of that survey, the AAFCO LMSC sent a Laboratory Capability survey in 2021 to State Agriculture laboratories to assess needs for methodology, training, and resources and to identify gaps on the hazards/contaminants identified by regulatory programs. The LMSC created working groups to address gaps identified to be able to assist State Agriculture testing laboratories to respond to the needs of their State Regulatory program. From this survey, the State Regulatory programs identified that testing for pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were of importance. While methodology for detection and identification of pathogens exists (FDA BAM, AOAC Official Methods), training for detection and isolation of certain pathogens of concern in animal food was identified as a need among several State Agriculture testing laboratories. To address this need and gap identified by the Laboratory Capability survey, the AAFCO LMSC is proposing to hold an in-person 3 ½ day hands-on microbiology workshop. The basic workshop will feature presentations and hands-on laboratory sessions on detection, isolation, and confirmation of bacterial pathogens in animal food. Participants will learn about their role in a public health investigation, what defensible data means, and how to present a defensible data package, laboratory safety, and standard methodology. Participants will have the opportunity to perform microbiological methods for the detection, isolation, and confirmation of Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 from a variety of animal food using standard methods such as FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) and AOAC Official Methods. We feel that this training course would allow AAFCO to assist the Food and Drug Administration, Office of Regulatory Affair’s mission to protect consumers and enhance public health by providing training for State animal feed laboratories to promote public health and safety.
