## Abstract

Increasing the Capability and Capacity of 
Microbiological and Chemical Testing to Support an 
Integrated Food Defense and Food Safety System 
Special Projects Discipline, Sample Collection Analytical Track 
Project Summary / Abstract 
The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Consumer Protection Laboratory (CPL) propose to 
strengthen federal efforts to protect the national food supply and enhance the state’s regulatory 
effectiveness in food safety as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act and the Food 
Emergency Response Network. The agency shall participate in state-initiated surveillance 
collection of 1000 human and 1000 animal food products and testing for chemical and 
microbiological analytes. ODA-CPL seeks to address two issues during the 5-yr grant period. 
First, ODA-CPL shall provide proper training to laboratory personnel that will be responsible for 
sample collection, chain of custody records and documenting sample descriptions. This is being 
performed to ensure that any results generated by the laboratory can be deemed defensible by 
the FDA. Second, we shall explore the use of new technologies to make the sample collection 
process more efficient. Lastly, with support from the grant we agree to support the FDA by 
maintaining readiness through active participation through FERN.
