Abstract

Project Summary The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), Division of Food Safety has been enrolled in the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) since 2008 and in full conformance with all 10 standards since 2016. In this time, FDACS has implemented many systems within the MFRPS program. This project proposes to build on those systems as the department continues to improve, maintain, and enhance existing systems. This cooperative agreement will afford us the opportunity to maintain full conformance with the MFRPS and to share, collaborate, and mentor other state programs as we continue develop creative and innovative solutions for the program. Proposed work for this project includes enhancing inspection and training systems, updating electronic systems to improve data exchange capabilities, developing mutual reliance efforts, and improving upon on the established foundation. The end project goal is to strengthen consistency, effectiveness, and efficiencies of developed and new systems used to enhance strengthening of the integrated food safety system, resulting in a safe food supply for the public
