Texas Feed Safety and BSE/Ruminant Feed Ban Support Project

项目摘要 该项目的长期目标是减少动物和人类接触化学物质。 和生物危害在饲料中通过实施“德克萨斯州饲料安全和 疯牛病/反刍动物禁食支持项目“合作协议计划(CAP) 与食品和药物管理局(FDA)合作。拟议的履约协助方案将增强 通过在FDA授权下进行检查，开发新的 评估饲料样品的化学危害以及收集/评估的能力 使用根据前一次履约协助方案开发的能力进行生物危害的样本。 特别是，这项提案寻求加强对未涵盖的饲料制造商的监管 根据国家授权，包括每年对农场饲料制造商进行200次检查， 运输机和食品打捞业务。检查将包括疯牛病审计和 过程控制审计，以确定当前确定的饲料安全实践中的差距 法规和悬而未决的动物饲料安全体系法规。收集的样本 在这些检查期间，将分析生物危害，包括是否存在 禁用哺乳动物蛋白质和沙门氏菌。这项提案旨在加强监督 目标饲料中的化学危害，包括二恶英、重金属和药物残留 配料。这些样品中约有50%将针对进口产品 在FDA西南进口区(SWID)的帮助下使用 可报告的注册表数据。这些活动的结果将有助于建立一个具有教育意义的 向制造商、分销商和运输商提供食品的外展计划。 作为这一项目的一个成果，加强对饲料企业的监督 国家权威就会出现。该项目将改善德克萨斯州的办公室 化学家分析FDA动物饲料确定的化学危害的能力 安全系统团队，包括二恶英、重金属和药物残留。增加了 德克萨斯州化学家办公室的监控将使州和联邦机构 帮助防止未来与饲料有关的食源性疫情爆发的人员，以及 对需要加强调查和实验室的事件作出更快速的反应 在此项目期间开发的功能。

Project Summary The long-term goal of this project is to reduce animal and human exposure to chemical and biological hazards in feed through implementation of a "Texas Feed Safety and BSE/Ruminant Feed Ban Support Project" Cooperative Agreement Program (CAP) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The proposed CAP will augment existing state activities by conducting inspections under FDA authority, developing new capability to evaluate feed samples for chemical hazards, and collecting/evaluating samples for biological hazards using capabilities developed under the previous CAP. In particular, this proposal seeks to increase oversight of feed manufacturers not covered under state authority including 200 inspections per year of on-farm feed manufacturers, transporters, and food salvage operations. The inspections will include a BSE audit and a process control audit to identify gaps in feed safety practices identified under current regulations and pending Animal Feed Safety System regulations. Samples collected during these inspections will be analyzed for biological hazards including the presence of prohibited mammalian protein and Salmonella. This proposal seeks to increase oversight of chemical hazards including dioxin, heavy metals, and drug residues in targeted feed ingredients. Approximately 50% of these samples will target imported products identified with the assistance of the FDA Southwest Import District (SWID) using reportable registry data. Results of these activities will assist in building an educational outreach program to feed manufacturers, distributors and transporters. As an outcome of this project, greater oversight of feed establishments not covered under state authority will occur. This project will improve the Office of the Texas State Chemist capability to analyze chemical hazards identified by the FDA Animal Feed Safety System team including dioxin, heavy metals and drug residues. Increased surveillance by the Office of the Texas State Chemist will enable state and federal agency personnel to help prevent future food borne outbreaks associated with feed, as well as respond more rapidly to incidents that require the enhanced investigation and laboratory capabilities developed during this project.
