申请名称：新泽西食品测试计划-食品安全和国防（2020 - 2025） 项目名称：2009年零售果蔬饮料中金属和农药的监测 New Jersey 项目总结-学科B：化学，分析轨道2：人用食品检测 新泽西卫生部（NJDOH）正在寻求美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）的 实验室灵活供资模式合作协议，重点是提高实验室的能力 新泽西州维护食品安全和保障。金属实验室和化学恐怖主义，生物监测， 医药卫生和食品检测实验室（CT实验室）设在NJDOH的环境 化学实验室服务（ECLS）。对于这个项目，金属和CT实验室将参加 化学学科人类食品产品测试跟踪进行水果和蔬菜的监督测试- 基于饮料可供零售在新泽西州的有毒金属和农药。每年将收集500个样本 并进行有毒金属的测试;将挑选100个样本进行进一步的杀虫剂测试。测试 结果将与FDA和其他适当的国家机构公开分享，以启动调查， 从零售中移除潜在有害产品，以保护消费者。 除了对新泽西可购买的水果和蔬菜饮料进行常规检测外， ECLS将1）参与FDA要求的活动，包括分诊演习和国家安全活动，2） 为污染事件和食品供应威胁提供快速反应准备，3）参与 并通过能力测试，4）通过适当的渠道报告结果，5）参加培训和会议， 6)主持现场访问，7）提供状态报告，8）参加网络电话会议。 通过开展本提案中详述的工作并管理综合食品安全系统，ECLS将 能够扩大其食品防御和安全活动，同时进一步保障公众健康。食品检测 由CT和金属实验室进行的研究将加强FDA和其他州的国家努力， 并为我们的联邦和州合作伙伴提供化学污染物数据， 食物防御措施该项目将支持FDA的目标，即拥有一个强大而有能力的综合 实验室网络，以确保美国消费者的食品安全。

Application Title: New Jersey Food Testing Program - Food Safety and Defense (2020-2025) Project Title: Surveillance of Metals and Pesticides in Fruit- and Vegetable-Based Beverages from Retail in New Jersey Project Summary – Discipline B: Chemistry, Analytical Track 2: Human Food Product Testing The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is pursuing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Laboratory Flexible Funding Model cooperative agreement focused on improving the capability and capacity of NJ to maintain food safety and security. The Metals Laboratory and Chemical Terrorism, Biomonitoring, Medicinal Marijuana, and Food Testing Laboratory (CT Laboratory) are housed within NJDOH’s Environmental Chemistry Laboratory Services (ECLS). For this project, Metals and CT Laboratories will participate in the Chemistry Discipline Human Food Product Testing Track conducting surveillance testing of fruit- and vegetable- based beverages available for retail in NJ for toxic metals and pesticides. 500 samples will be collected annually and tested for toxic metals; a subset of 100 samples will be selected for further pesticides testing. The test results will be shared publicly with the FDA and other appropriate State agencies to initiate investigations and remove potentially harmful products from retail to protect consumers. In addition to the routine testing of fruit- and vegetable-based beverages available for purchase in New Jersey, ECLS will 1) participate in FDA-requested activities including triage exercises and national security events, 2) provide rapid response preparedness for contamination events and threats to the food supply, 3) participate in and pass proficiency tests, 4) report results through appropriate channels, 5) attend trainings and conferences, 6) host site visits, 7) provide status reports, and 8) participate in network teleconferences. By conducting the work detailed in this proposal and managing an integrated food safety system, ECLS will be able to expand its food defense and safety activities while further safeguarding public health. The food testing conducted by the CT and Metals Laboratories will enhance the national efforts of the FDA and other states as well as provide our federal and state partners with chemical contaminant data they can use to enhance their own food defense practices. This project will support the FDA’s goal of having a strong and capable integrated laboratory network to ensure food safety for consumers in the United States.
