# MFRPS Maintenance New Jersey Department of Health

> **NIH FDA U2F** · NEW JERSEY STATE DEPT/HEALTH/SENIOR SRVS · 2024 · $300,000

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
 The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) establish a uniform
foundation for the design and management of state programs responsible for the regulation of
manufactured food facilities. The continued maintenance of these program standards will assist
federal and state programs to better direct their regulatory activities toward reducing foodborne
illness hazards in food plants.
 Based on the New Jersey Department of Health 2023 Strategic Plan and MFRPS
Meeting report from FDA Development and Implementation Branch Staff, the program needs for
the cooperative agreement application funding include:
  Continue to enhance conformance with all Standards.
  Maintain an electronic inspection program for Field Staff.
  Annual meeting travel of key MFRPS managers & staff to participate in annual face-to-
 face meetings and other initiatives supporting national and program specific
 conformance with the MFRPS.
  Provide training to state staff conducting manufactured foods inspections.
  Obtain additional inspectional and IT related equipment for field staff.
 If funded under this cooperative agreement application, New Jersey will continue to strive
toward maintenance with the MFRPS as we build capacity in a food safety program focused on
public health, while working in collaboration with FDA and other stakeholders as part of an
Integrated Food Safety System.
