# COMMONWEALTH OF PA PROJECT OT EXPAND IMPLEMENTATION OF PCHF INSPECTIONS AND FACILITATE DATA EXCHANGE

> **NIH FDA U18** · PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE · 2020 · $298,800

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
As a large state Tier 3 state under the current MFRPS Flexible Funding Model, with a
population of nearly 13 million, and a state level inventory of over 4500 manufactured
food establishments, full implementation of the Preventive Control for Human Food Rule
at a state level will have a large impact on the US Food Supply. Development of an
integrated system for data exchange between FDA and the Commonwealth of PA will
further advance an integrated food safety system.
This project is intended to expand and build upon the established MFRPS compliant
Manufactured Food Program in Pennsylvania to fully implement the PCHF inspections
in Pennsylvania, through a well-trained, well-equipped inspection staff, and advance a
national food safety system through seamless data sharing.
