## Abstract

Discipline: Chemistry 
Analytical Track 2: Human Food Product Testing 
Project Summary/Abstract: 
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), Division of Food Safety 
Laboratories achieved accreditation in 2007 and maintains A2LA accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 
for the specific tests listed in A2LA certificates 2534.01, 2534.02 and 2534.03 (available at 
www.A2LA.org). The Division of Food Safety is directly responsible for assuring the public of a safe, 
wholesome and properly represented food supply. This is accomplished through the permitting and 
inspection of food establishments; inspection and evaluation of food and dairy products; and the 
performance of biological and chemical laboratory testing on a variety of food and dairy products sold 
and/or produced in Florida. The division monitors food and dairy products from manufacturing through 
distribution to retail sale. In addition to regulatory surveillance and enforcement, the Division evaluates 
consumer complaints related to food. The Division has the responsibility for carrying out its duties or 
support functions as directed by the following Florida Statutes Chapters: 500, 502, 583, 586, and 601. 
As the primary regulatory food testing laboratory for Florida the FDACS Division of Food Safety 
Laboratories work with our Division's Bureau of Food Inspection to conduct microbiological and 
chemical food analyses on behalf of the state’s manufactured food regulatory programs (MFRPS). These 
analyses are conducted within the scope of our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. The Division of Food 
Safety Laboratories are applying for the Funding Opportunity titled: Laboratory Flexible Funding Model 
(LFFM), announcement number PAR-20-105, with anticipation of funding from 2020 through 2025 for 
enhancing the capacity and capabilities of state human food testing in the area of chemistry. The 
Laboratories have actively participated in the project titled "Maintaining and Enhancing Accreditation at 
the Florida Bureau of Food Laboratories" continuously since 2012 and have been a funded member of 
the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) CAP laboratories continuously since 2004. 
The Division of Food Safety Laboratories are willing and able to participate in this opportunity, and are 
fully committed to increasing the analytical capacity of our nation’s food testing regulatory laboratories 
under accreditation, increasing our ability to share laboratory results to promote earlier identification 
and regulatory response to adulterants in the food supply, and advancement of a nationally integrated 
food safety system thereby enhancing efforts to protect the food supply and work toward ensuring the 
public’s health.
