# Analysis of Chemical Hazards in Human Food Products

> **NIH FDA U19** · KANSAS STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE · 2020 · $310,796

## Abstract

Project Summary 
The Kansas Department of Agriculture Laboratory aims to help create a national, fully integrated 
food safety system by expanding our testing capabilities in both Microbiology and Chemistry as 
well as increase sample throughput in both human and animal product testing. The Laboratory 
serves as the primary servicing lab for the Food Safety and Lodging (FS&L) and Dairy and Feed 
Safety (DFS) programs. In this analytical track, KDAL proposes analyze 250 samples each project 
period for an identified commodity/hazard pairing. Continued laboratory accreditation to 
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 will allow for a complete quality system to ensure defensible analytical 
results are put forth. The accreditation attests to the competency and technical capabilities of a 
laboratory to perform certain tasks and supports traceability of data generated. The collaboration 
between the regulatory programs and the laboratory will play an integral role in achieving an 
integrated national food safety system.
