Project Summary 2022 AAFCO Laboratory Methods and Services Workshop PAR 19-306 The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a voluntary membership association of state and federal agencies charged by law to regulate the sale and distribution of animal feeds and animal drug remedies. In 2020, the AAFCO Hazards and Contaminants sub-committee and the Laboratory Methods and Services Committee (LMSC) sent a survey to State Agriculture regulatory programs to identify hazards and contaminants of concern to animal food regulators. Based on the results of that survey, the AAFCO LMSC sent a Laboratory Capability survey in 2021 to State Agriculture laboratories to assess needs for methodology, training, and resources and to identify gaps on the hazards/contaminants identified by regulatory programs. The LMSC created working groups to address gaps identified to be able to assist State Agriculture testing laboratories to respond to the needs of their State Regulatory program. From this survey, the State Regulatory programs identified that testing for pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were of importance. While methodology for detection and identification of pathogens exists (FDA BAM, AOAC Official Methods), training for detection and isolation of certain pathogens of concern in animal food was identified as a need among several State Agriculture testing laboratories. To address this need and gap identified by the Laboratory Capability survey, the AAFCO LMSC is proposing to hold an in-person 3 ½ day hands-on microbiology workshop. The basic workshop will feature presentations and hands-on laboratory sessions on detection, isolation, and confirmation of bacterial pathogens in animal food. Participants will learn about their role in a public health investigation, what defensible data means, and how to present a defensible data package, laboratory safety, and standard methodology. Participants will have the opportunity to perform microbiological methods for the detection, isolation, and confirmation of Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 from a variety of animal food using standard methods such as FDA Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM) and AOAC Official Methods. We feel that this training course would allow AAFCO to assist the Food and Drug Administration, Office of Regulatory Affair’s mission to protect consumers and enhance public health by providing training for State animal feed laboratories to promote public health and safety.

项目概要 2022 AAFCO 实验室方法和服务研讨会 第 19-306 段 美国饲料控制官员协会 (AAFCO) 是自愿会员 由法律负责监管销售和分销的州和联邦机构协会 动物饲料和动物药物。 2020 年，AAFCO 危害和污染物小组委员会和实验室 方法和服务委员会 (LMSC) 向州农业监管机构发送了一份调查 确定动物食品监管机构关注的危害和污染物的计划。 根据该调查的结果，AAFCO LMSC 于 2021 年向 国家农业实验室评估方法、培训和资源的需求，并 找出监管计划所确定的危害/污染物方面的差距。 LMSC 成立了工作组来解决已确定的差距，以便能够协助各国 农业测试实验室响应其国家监管计划的需求。 在这项调查中，国家监管计划确定了对病原体的检测，例如 沙门氏菌、单增李斯特菌和大肠杆菌 O157:H7 很重要。 存在检测和鉴定病原体的方法（FDA BAM、AOAC 官方 方法），动物食品中某些相关病原体的检测和分离培训 被几个州农业测试实验室确定为需要。 为了解决实验室能力调查发现的这一需求和差距，AAFCO LMSC 建议举办为期 3.5 天的现场微生物学基础实践研讨会。 研讨会将以关于检测、隔离、 以及动物食品中细菌病原体的确认，参与者将了解它们在其中的作用。 公共卫生调查、可辩护数据的含义以及如何呈现可辩护数据 包装、实验室安全和标准方法。 执行微生物学方法来检测、分离和确认沙门氏菌， 使用来自各种动物食品的单增李斯特菌和大肠杆菌 O157:H7 标准方法，例如 FDA 细菌学分析手册 (BAM) 和 AOAC 官方 方法。 我们认为该培训课程将使 AAFCO 能够协助食品和药品管理局 行政管理事务办公室的使命是保护消费者并增强公众意识 通过为国家动物饲料实验室提供培训来促进公众健康和 安全。
