## Abstract

Increasing the Capability and Capacity of 
Microbiological and Chemical Testing to Support an 
Integrated Food Defense and Food Safety System 
Chemistry Discipline, Animal Food Product Testing Analytical Track 
Project Summary / Abstract 
The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Consumer Protection Laboratory (CPL) proposes to 
participate in risk assessment of animal food products through surveillance testing and 
collaboration with state and federal regulators. The Plant Health division of ODA is the primary 
state regulatory sampling organization and has enjoyed a strong relationship with ODA-CPL in 
handling regulatory testing of animal feed for label claim verification and for possible 
contaminants. ODA-CPL proposes therefore to acquire 500 animal food samples for 
surveillance testing. The laboratory is prepared to perform GC-MS, LC-MS and ICP-MS screens 
for toxins, poisons, toxic metals and any other type of contaminant that might be present in 
animal feed samples. In addition, the laboratory will target specific types of commodity/hazard 
pairs identified by the FDA to be of potential interest for any given budget period, with an 
emphasis in the first year of focusing on toxic metals by ICP-MS. The laboratory agrees to 
provide timely reporting in the case of a presumptive positive to both the Plant Health division 
and to the FDA technical lead and project manager.
