## Abstract

NY AGM Food Laboratory - Project Summary/Abstract: 
 The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NY AGM) has an 
expansive and robust food safety inspection program and a regulatory food safety 
testing laboratory. The Food Laboratory, a division within the NY AGM, has a mission to 
provide expert state of the art analytical testing in support of food safety programs in 
New York State. The Food Laboratory, through food testing, provides support to the 
divisions of Food Safety and Inspection, and Milk Control and Dairy Services. It is the 
primary servicing laboratory for the New York manufactured food regulatory program 
and is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. The Food Laboratory has 
comprehensive testing programs for foodborne pathogens in human food. 
 If funded for Microbiology Discipline and Analytical Track 4 – Whole Genome 
Sequencing, the Food Laboratory will maintain the Research Collaboration Agreement 
with CFSAN for the GenomeTrakr network. It will continue to sequence a mixture of four 
hundred (400) or more foodborne related bacterial isolates and parasites in real-time 
coordination with FDA CFSAN, and deposit results, including the metadata, in to the 
NCBI-NIH curated national database. It will also seek partnership with universities, 
government agencies, and other stakeholders to support the collection of isolates. 
Additionally, the Food Laboratory key personnel will attend mandatory meetings such as 
GenomeTrakr annual conference. 
 The NY AGM fully supports FDA’s initiative of enhance the GenomeTrakr 
network by capturing the current and evolving genomic diversity of non-clinical 
pathogens across FDA-relevant areas in human or animal food, environmental, and 
water samples.
