## Abstract

Discipline B: Chemistry 
Analytical Track 1: Food Defense 
To ensure laboratory surge capacity in the analyses of foods and food products for analyses 
related to chemical contamination, through intentional means, the NH PHL plans to: 
1. Participate in FDA-requested annual triage exercises, and/or surveillance activities to support 
and maintain readiness. 
2. Participate in national security event exercises, as available. 
3. Maintain preparedness to rapidly respond to a suspected or confirmed intentional 
contamination event involving human or animal food. This includes ensuring analysts are trained 
and have passed competency exercises, equipment is in working order, and reagents and 
supplies are available. 
4. Participate in testing associated with suspected or credible threats to the food supply where a 
chemical agent is suspected, as requested by FDA 
The NH PHL maintains readiness and ability to detect chemical contamination in vegetables and 
fruits (fresh and packaged); juices (concentrate and diluted); grains and grain products; seafood 
and other fish products; milk and other dairy products; infant formula; baby foods; bottled water; 
condiments; and alcoholic products (beer, wine, scotch). 
NH PHL will participate and pass annual proficiency tests, attend the LFFM Face-to-Face meeting 
and monthly calls, maintain ISO 17025 accreditation of CHE.0009 and other methods that fall 
under our accreditation, maintain facilities and personnel necessary to complete the work 
proposed, and provide a detailed quarterly summary of all samples collected and analyzed. The 
NH PHL will maintain a valid 20.88 agreement with the FDA.
