Abstract As a large state with a population of nearly 13 million, and an economic value of 6.1 billion in Pennsylvania agriculture, it is of primary importance for Pennsylvania to possess a laboratory dedicated to the analysis of food and feed products in order to provide defensible knowledge concerning the safety and integrity of the products produced by the commonwealth. The integrity of this knowledge is critical to inform decision makers in the production of public policy and protection of public health. In 2015 the Laboratory Division of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratory Services (“Laboratory”) began its participation in the Food and Drug Administration’s Animal Feed Regulatory Program Standard Cooperative Agreement Program with the primary goal of achieving accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, that defines the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. In 2020, the Laboratory is set to achieve this goal and is looking toward expanding the scope of its accreditation to better support its Food and Feed regulatory programs, and, in turn, support the FDA Integrated Food Safety System created under the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act. To do this, the Laboratory is focused on four goals pivotal to the development of its services: 1) To strengthen its utilization of quality management and continuous improvement, 2) to expand its scope of accreditation and testing capabilities, 3) to establish and expand manufactured food and feed product testing for regulatory purposes, and 4) to continue to develop lasting laboratory partnerships.

抽象的 作为一个拥有近1300万人口、经济价值61亿美元的大国 宾夕法尼亚州农业，拥有一个专门的实验室对于宾夕法尼亚州来说至关重要 对食品和饲料产品进行分析，以提供有关食品和饲料产品的可靠知识 该知识的完整性是联合体生产的产品的安全性和完整性。 对于决策者制定公共政策和保护公共卫生至关重要。 2015年宾夕法尼亚州农业部食品安全局实验室分部 和实验室服务（“实验室”）开始参与美国食品和药物管理局的 动物饲料监管计划标准合作协议计划的主要目标是 获得 ISO/IEC 17025 标准认证，该标准定义了测试和认证的能力 2020 年，实验室将实现这一目标，并正在努力实现这一目标。 扩大其认证范围，以更好地支持其食品和饲料监管计划，并且， 反过来，支持根据 2011 年食品安全法案创建的 FDA 综合食品安全体系 为此，实验室重点关注对其发展至关重要的四个目标。 服务：1）加强质量管理的运用和持续改进，2） 扩大其认证范围和检测能力，3）建立和扩大加工食品 以及出于监管目的的饲料产品测试，以及 4) 继续发展持久的实验室 伙伴关系。
