# California Milk and Dairy Food Safety Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards Maintenance and IT Development

> **NIH FDA U2F** · CALIFORNIA STATE DEPT/FOOD/AGRICULTURE · 2024 · $225,000

## Abstract

Abstract
The primary goal of this project is to further develop, implement, and sustain MDFSB's
best practices for a high-quality regulatory program to enhance food safety. This would
entail the strengthening of interagency collaboration, cooperation, communication, and
sustainment of conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards
(MFRPS). Grant funds will be used to enhance current dairy inspection program
capabilities and provide the necessary infrastructure to continue further development and
sustainment of MFRPS. MDFS also proposes a special project to update its Emerging
Threats Database (ET) to manage daily business activities such as licensing, registration,
certification, permitting, inspection, traceability, compliance, and enforcement.
