An All Food Hazards Rapid Response Team Project Summary/Abstract The mission of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Food and Drug Branch's (FDB), Food Safety Program is to prevent and react to food and food-related problems and emergencies. We accomplish this with a combination of prevention efforts and active intervention and response throughout the entire food chain. Toward that end we have created the California Food Emergency Response Team, or CalFERT, an "All Food Hazards Rapid Response Team (RRT)," to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our response to food emergencies, whether unintentional or through purposeful acts. The primary objective of our proposed program is to further develop, implement, and sustain California's ability to rapidly respond to food and feed emergencies. This would entail the addition of three staff members from the funds authorized under this grant that will enhance the program's ability to conduct investigations utilizing the Incident Command System (ICS) and development of RRT protocols; the purchase of additional technical and sampling equipment and supplies; the development and provision of commodity-specific training courses; the strengthening of interagency collaboration, cooperation, and communication; achievement of compliance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), and; enhancement of coordination and interactions with other states' RRT programs. Accordingly, we are requesting $500,000 in grant funds for each of the next two years. This would augment current CDPH capabilities and provide the necessary infrastructure to conduct environmental investigations, tracebacks, and enforcement activities during food and feed emergencies, thereby improving our readiness to act in emergencies. Funding would also allow us to obtain the necessary training to sharpen our internal skill set, improve the availability of critical resources, increase information sharing among federal, state and local agencies, improve on succession planning and sustain the RRT beyond this grant period. An inability to develop and sustain California's RRT program would be detrimental to the state's Food Safety Program and would have national repercussions. California is the nation's largest producer of many important agricultural commodities including dairy, leafy greens, fruit, vegetable, and nut crops. A crisis impacting those commodities would negatively impact millions of consumers in California, the nation, and the world. This has been demonstrated by past national foodborne illness outbreaks that were traced back to California such as the 2006 E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks associated with spinach and lettuce that resulted in thousands of illnesses (when considering under-reporting). The economic impact of such food emergencies can cost hundreds of millions of dollars due to decreased demands for food commodities because of loss of consumer confidence in the food supply.

所有食物危害快速响应团队 项目摘要/摘要 加利福尼亚公共卫生部（CDPH），食品和药品分支机构（FDB）的任务，食品 安全计划是为了预防和应对与食物有关的问题和紧急情况。我们 通过预防努力和积极干预和响应的结合来实现这一目标 整个食物链。为此，我们创建了加利福尼亚食品应急小组， 或CALFERT，是“所有食物危害快速响应团队（RRT）”，以提高效率和 我们对粮食紧急情况的反应的有效性，无论是无意的还是有目的的行为。 我们提议的计划的主要目标是进一步发展，实施和维持加利福尼亚的 能够快速应对食物和饲料紧急情况。这将需要增加三名员工 该赠款授权的资金的成员将增强该计划的行为能力 利用事件命令系统（IC）和RRT协议的开发的调查；这 购买其他技术和采样设备和用品；的发展和提供 特定于商品的培训课程；加强机构间协作，合作和 沟通;实现遵守制造的食品调节计划标准 （mfrps），;加强协调和与其他州的RRT计划的互动。 因此，我们要求在接下来的两年中为每项提供500,000美元的赠款资金。这会 增强当前CDPH功能并提供必要的基础设施来进行环境 在食物和饲料紧急情况下进行的调查，追溯和执法活动，从而 改善我们准备在紧急情况下采取行动。资金还可以使我们获得必要的 培训以提高我们的内部技能，提高关键资源的可用性，增加信息 共享联邦，州和地方机构，改善继任计划并维持RRT 超出了这一赠款期。 无法制定和维持加利福尼亚的RRT计划将不利于该州的食品 安全计划，将产生国家的影响。加利福尼亚是美国最大的生产国 许多重要的农产品，包括乳制品，多叶蔬菜，水果，蔬菜和坚果作物。一个 影响这些商品的危机会对加利福尼亚的数百万消费者产生负面影响， 国家和世界。过去的全国食源疾病暴发已经证明了这一点 被追溯到加利福尼亚州，例如2006年大肠杆菌O157：H7爆发与菠菜和 生菜会导致数千种疾病（考虑到不足的报道）。经济影响 由于食物的需求减少，这种紧急情况可能会花费数亿美元 商品由于消费者对粮食供应的信心丧失。
