MFRPS Maintenance NYSAGM

Project Abstract: The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has an extensive food safety and inspection program which includes jurisdiction over manufactured foods facilities. The Division of Food Safety and Inspection has been enrolled in FDA's Manufactured Foods Regulatory Program Standards since 2008 and is currently in full implementation and full conformance of 2019 MFRPS standards. The Standards provide State manufactured food programs with a quality management framework, and a foundation for a nationally integrated food safety system. Funding by FDA to FSI will enable the maintenance of our full implementation to the 2022 Standards, continue the capabilities of our inspection staff, support training, provide necessary staff resources to maintain the Standards, maintain systems for auditing, data capture, and reporting and further information sharing. With the additional special project funding, the State would like to expand our current independent course delivery trainings from FD190, to include FD202, FD249 and FD254 by working with FDA’s Patricia Alcock and the FDA/ORA/OTED team.
