PROJECT SUMMARY - Food Defense The Division of Environmental Health Sciences (DEHS) of the Wadsworth Center (WC) is the principal public health laboratory of New York State for the analysis of toxic chemicals in environmental samples and clinical specimens, and it is the primary response laboratory for chemical spills, nuclear accidents and terrorism-related incidents in the state. The DEHS of the WC has participated in the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) program at the national level since its inception and has developed substantial emergency capability for monitoring of chemical and radioactive contamination of food supplies under a FERN cooperative agreement program (CAP) with both Federal Agency USDA-FSIS and FDA. The DEHS of the WC is proposing to participate in the FDA funded 2020-2025 Laboratory Flexible Funding Model (LFFM) in Discipline B Chemistry - Track 1 - Food Defense to provide following analytical services: (1) participation in FDA-requested food surveillance activities and/or annual exercises such as FERN PTs to support and maintain readiness; (2) participation in national special security event (NSSE) including political conventions, large sporting events, and inaugural events; (3) maintain preparedness to respond rapidly to a suspected or confirmed intentional contamination event involving human or animal food, i.e., ensuring bench analysts maintain their training and competency, all instrumentation is in working order, and the necessary reagents and supplies are available; (4) participation in testing associated with suspected or credible threats to the food supply where a chemical agent is suspected, as requested by FDA; and (5) participation in FERN regional and FERN wide conference calls and activities. Scientists at the WC will also develop and improve analytical methods (i) to provide food defense testing and quality results to the federal agencies, and (ii) to enhance emergency capability and surge capacity and apply technical capabilities during a live activation event following FDA guidance. We also plan to extend our ISO-17025 accreditation to include our food chemistry methods.

项目摘要 - 食品防御 沃兹沃思中心（WC）的环境卫生科学系（DEHS）是主要公众 纽约州卫生实验室，用于分析环境样品和临床的有毒化学物质 标本，这是化学溢出，核事故和与恐怖主义有关的主要反应实验室 该州的事件。 WC的DEH参加了食品应急网络（FERN） 自成立以来就在国家一级的计划，并为 根据FERN合作协议监测食品供应的化学和放射性污染 与联邦机构USDA-FSIS和FDA的计划（上限）。 WC的DEH提议参加由FDA资助的2020-2025实验室灵活资金 学科B化学中的模型（LFFM） - 轨道1-食物防御以提供以下分析服务：（1） 参加FDA要求的食品监视活动和/或年度练习，例如蕨PTS 并保持准备； （2）参加包括政治公约，包括政治公约，包括 大型体育赛事和就职赛事； （3）保持准备迅速反应可疑或 确认涉及人类或动物食品的故意污染事件，即确保基准分析师保持 他们的培训和能力，所有仪器都处于工作状态，以及必要的试剂和供应 可用； （4）参与与粮食供应的可疑或可信威胁相关的测试 根据FDA的要求，怀疑是一种化学剂； （5）参与蕨类区域和蕨类植物 电话会议和活动。 WC的科学家还将开发并改善分析方法（i） 为联邦机构提供食品防御测试和质量结果，（ii）增强紧急情况 在FDA指导之后的实时激活事件中，电涌能力并应用技术功能。我们 还计划扩展我们的ISO-17025认证，以包括我们的食品化学方法。
