Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection
 Project Summary
Project Summary
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection has developed this proposal to advance efforts in
Connecticut so as to be in concert with the nationally integrated food safety system (IFSS). This will be
accomplished by pursuing continued maintenance support for five years of Manufactured Food
Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) in Connecticut, applying for the development and continued
funding for five years of a Food Protection Task Force (FPTF) in Connecticut and for a five year special
project related to education/outreach on food labeling.
The Project Goals for the CT MFRPS Program are to achieve and maintain conformance with the most
recent version of the Standards, contribute to the continuous improvement of the MFRPS through
attendance at an annual face-to-face meeting, active participation in committees, other initiatives, and
develop strategies and resources for achieving and maintaining conformance with the Standards that
can be shared and duplicated on a national basis, and provide FDA the foundation for pursuing
regulatory action based upon the findings of State manufactured food regulatory programs. Connecticut
will also provide FDA the foundation to improve quality of contracts, coordination of inspections,
investigations and enforcement to effectively and efficiently protect public health.
The Food Protection Task Force and Special Project on Packaging and Labeling will also support the IFSS
and FSMA.
