## Abstract

Project Summary – MFRPS
The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards establishes a uniform foundation for the
design and management of the State programs responsible for the regulation of food facilities.
The elements of the program standards describe best practices of a high quality regulatory
program. Achieving conformance with them will require comprehensive self-assessments.
These assessments will encourage continuous improvement and innovation. The goal is to
implement and maintain a risk-based food safety program. The continued enhancement and
maintenance of the program standards will better direct regulatory activities toward reducing
foodborne illness hazards and increase the safety of the food supply.
