## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
Project Title: Flexible Funding Model - Infrastructure Development and Maintenance for State
Manufactured Food Regulatory Programs (U18) RFA-FD-18-001
Project Description:
To enhance and continue the current Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) Food Safety
and Consumer Protection (FSCP) Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS),
and Food Protection Task Force (FPTF) programs.
This funding would allow NDA to achieve and maintain conformance with the most current
version of the MFRPS. The MFRPS help NDA ensure that the manufactured food regulatory
program uses best practices. Conformance with these program standards will help Nebraska's
program better direct regulatory activities at reducing foodborne illness hazards in plants that
manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods.
This funding would allow NDA to continue the work of the Food Protection Task Force in
promoting the integration of an efficient statewide human and animal food (HAF) protection
system that maximizes the protection of the public health. Efforts would include: fostering
communication, education, outreach, cooperation and collaboration within the state among
federal, state, local, tribal and territorial HAF protection, public health, agriculture, and
regulatory agencies, industry, academia, and consumers to initiate and/or support HAF protection
activities to improve public health.
