## 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 17025:2017 standard and AOAC ALACC Criteria. The 
Food Laboratory has comprehensive testing programs for microbiological contamination 
in food and beverages. If funded for Special Projects and Analytical Track 3 – Method 
Development and Method Validation, the Food Laboratory will conduct preliminary, 
short-term or exploratory investigations that focus on the feasibility of a new method 
and/or technology. These projects could include proof of concept for new analytical 
approaches, method development for representative food matrices, single laboratory 
validations of methods, matrix or platform extensions, or multi-laboratory validation 
research studies. 
 If funded, the following activities will be part of Food Laboratory deliverables: (1) 
participation in a microbiology method development or validation. The laboratory has 
interest to participate in a multi-laboratory validation of a Listeria monocytogenes 
serogrouping method. The laboratory already has a validated QPCR screening method 
for Salmonella in foods and can, if required, also participate on this multi-laboratory 
validation, (2) follow FDA guidelines for validation of analytical methods as described in 
Validation of Analytical Methods for the Detection of Microbial Pathogens in Foods and 
Feeds (https://www.fda.gov/media/83812/download) and (3) completion of single 
laboratory validation, when applicable.
