## 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 New York State Food Laboratory (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 17025:2017 standard and AOAC ALACC criteria. The Food Laboratory has 
comprehensive testing programs for chemical residues/toxic elements in food and beverages. If 
funded for Chemistry Discipline and Analytical Track 2 – Human Food Product Testing, the 
Food Laboratory will maintain resources and personnel necessary for 500 samples according 
the Food Laboratory Sampling Plan. The laboratory will maintain a quality management system 
compliant with the managerial and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and continue to be 
accredited by a recognized accreditation body. It will participate in proficiency testing or 
competency exercises on an annual basis to maintain analyst competency. If funded, the 
following activities will be part of Food Laboratory deliverables: participation in small-scale 
chemistry method development, method validation research, and matrix extension research; 
participation in chemistry related training and mentorship to other State laboratories, if 
requested; FERN membership and participation in conference calls, meetings, and support of 
FERN activities; key personnel will be sent to an annual LFFM Face-to-Face Meeting; quarterly 
summaries of all human food samples collected and analyzed under the Sampling Plan, 
notification of FDA project manager and technical lead of any presumptive positive samples in a 
timely manner, full laboratory packages of any violative sample after laboratory report is 
released in a timely manner, maintenance of a confidentiality agreement with FDA, and 
participation in at least one FDA requested assignment annually related to human food. The 
Food Laboratory will support the integrated food safety system by sharing laboratory results with 
the FDA when considering enforcement actions for surveillance and regulatory purposes.
