Ohio's FFM and Dietary Supplement Project Proposal

MFRPS MAINTENANCE PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT RE: Flexible Funding Model-Infrastructure Development and Maintenance for State Manufactured Food Regulatory Programs (U2F) Clinical Trials Not Allowed (Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number RFA-FD-23-027). The overall goal of the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Food Safety (ODAFS) is to achieve and maintain conformance with the most current version of the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS), which are intended to enhance food safety by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States and help Federal and State programs better direct their regulatory activities at reducing foodborne illness hazards in plants that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods. The participation of ODAFS in the Flexible Funding Model-Infrastructure Development and Maintenance for State Manufactured Food Regulatory Programs (U2F) cooperative agreement will assist the program as it continues to develop and maintain best practices for a high-quality regulatory program. In addition to maintaining conformance with the MFRPS, ODAFS has intentions of developing a state driven dietary supplement regulatory framework and program through training and other program development activities to advance the adoption and implementation of 21 CFR Part 111 cGMPs for Dietary Supplements Rule.
