Advancing Conformance with the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards

项目REACH摘要和摘要 华盛顿是一个自治的州，有多个地方、州和联邦机构负责零售食品 安全，没有单一的机构提供监督。还有29个拥有主权的部落国家 潜在的食品安全角色和来自州卫生部的最低限度的援助。而非集中式 控制允许地方官员、部落和公民直接获得利益并承担责任，这种安排 在零售食品安全规则的应用、能力和继任方面引发了担忧和挑战。 在华盛顿，35个地方卫生司法管辖区中只有18个、一个军事基地和一个州食品安全 计划登记参加美国食品和药物管理局自愿全国零售食品监管计划 标准。只有一个司法管辖区达到了三个标准；所有其他参与者都达到了0-1的标准。按顺序 为了提高监管机构之间的一致性，Project REACH(重新激活参与者和催化 进步)将进行协调的教育和物质发展努力，以增加 登记司法管辖区，并通过八个标准改进停滞登记人的进展情况。 REACH项目将使用当前的最佳实践和2017年FDA食品法规来制定示范政策和 程序、监管和行业培训材料以及更新的执法和实地检查指南。全 教育材料将基于食品安全中常见的两个概念，即主动管理控制(AMC)和 危害分析关键控制点(HACCP)，将已知的食品安全实践应用于不太熟悉的概念 计划改进的结果。这一串联方法将建立在现有知识库的基础上，并提供材料 可供监管合作伙伴与行业一起使用。此外，该计划打算使用爆发 疾控中心国家环境评估报告系统(NEARS)和理事会的调查指导 改进食源性暴发应对(CIFOR)，修改调查报告表格、材料和方案，以 就疾病报告、应对和缓解对监管合作伙伴进行培训。除了满足FDA计划 除了标准，所有材料也将符合公共卫生认证委员会(PHAB)的标准。 REACH项目的目标是增加基于风险的食品安全的一致和有效的应用 双管齐下的程序：增加计划标准的注册和参与， 准备可供监管和行业工作人员使用的最佳实践材料，召开全国会议 FDA和PHAB的标准，并使用两个常见的食品安全概念(AMC和HACCP)来帮助 提高内部和外部食品安全效能。

Project REACH Abstract and Summary Washington is a home rule state with multiple local, state, and federal agencies responsible for retail food safety with no singular agency providing oversight. There are also twenty-nine sovereign tribal nations with potential food safety roles and minimal assistance from the state department of health. While non-centralized control allows local officials, tribes, and citizens the benefit of direct access and responsibility, the arrangement has led to concerns and challenges in retail food safety rule application, capacity, and succession. In Washington, only 18 out of 35 local health jurisdictions, one military base, and one state food safety program are enrolled in the US Food & Drug Administration Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards. Only one jurisdiction has met three standards; all other enrollees are meeting 0-1 standards. In order to increase consistency among the regulatory agencies, Project REACH (Reactivating Enrollees and Catalyzing Headway) will conduct a coordinated education and material development effort to increase the number of enrolled jurisdictions and improve the progress of stalled enrollees across eight standards. Project REACH will use current best practice and the 2017 FDA Food Code to prepare model policies and procedures, regulatory and industry training materials, and updated enforcement and field inspection guides. All educational materials will be based on two concepts common in food safety, active managerial control (AMC) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), to apply a known food safety practice to the less familiar concept of program improvement. This tandem approach will build on a current knowledge base and provide materials available for regulatory partners to use with industry. Additionally, the program intends to use outbreak investigation guidance from CDC’s National Environmental Assessment Reporting System (NEARS) and Council to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response (CIFOR) to modify investigation report forms, materials, and protocols to train regulatory partners on illness reporting, response, and mitigation. In addition to meeting FDA Program Standards, all materials will also be consistent with Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) standards. The goals of Project REACH are to increase consistent and competent application of risk-based food safety procedures with a two-prong approach: increasing both enrollment and participation in Program Standards, preparing best practice materials that can be used with both regulatory and industry staff, meeting national standards from both FDA and PHAB, and using two common food-safety concepts (AMC and HACCP) to help improve both internal and external food safety effectiveness.
