# Sampling of Food Products in Support of the LFFM

> **NIH FDA U19** · KANSAS STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE · 2020 · $45,000

## 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. Each program will sample 
a minimum of 750 samples to be analyzed for microbiological or chemical hazards. 
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.
