## Abstract

Iowa Department of Agriculture & Land Stewardship (IDALS)
 Project Summary/Abstract
 Drug Residue Prevention Program (U18)
Given the large impact of Iowa's feed manufacturing industry, providing information through
education about the prevention of drug residue based on the scientific principles of feed/food
safety is paramount to protecting Iowans and consumers throughout the nation and world. Our
ability to follow up on residue violations and work side by side with the producer to find a
solution is value added to the supply chain.
Furthermore, the President has provided a significant level of focus on food safety nationally as
has Congress with the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Similarly, within
Iowa we have found an added interest in food safety.
Speaking to groups to provide information through education is a large part of what our Bureau
has identified to be successful with the FDA Drug Residue Cooperative Agreement Program.
Initially the Bureau will restructure duties of existing staff to allow us time to evaluate if a new
staff person is needed to assist in this area.
We will continue to update and educate our inspectors about the prevention of drug resides. We
will develop drug residue prevention material that will include a survey which our inspectors will
hand out at all of our 500+ inspections throughout the year.
Our inspectors will be properly trained so they can answer any questions that they may receive.
We will enhance, and make available, the existing pamphlets that are already being used by the
Animal Industry Bureau as well as create our own. We will make sure the information can be
relayed to the public in a manner than can be understood.
We will make available the drug residue materials at select fairs as well as being involved with
mailings. We will record the event/webinar of a training seminar and post it onto a designated
Drug Residue Prevention webpage so it can be available to anyone at any time. The recorded
seminar along with the informational pamphlets will be posted on our website so they will be
available to everyone. The material will continue to be available after the end of the agreement.
The objective of this agreement is intended to ensure that IDALS enhances our drug residue
prevention program to protect consumer exposure to drug residues in the edible products of
food animals. This will be achieved by educating laypersons and practitioners of the risks of
drug residues and providing them methods of prevention. Following up on past violations will
also enable the future producers/manufacturers to gain knowledge that will assist in the
prevention of the violation from occurring again. These steps IDALS will be taking will
significantly enhance the quality of food sold in and from Iowa.
