A National Integrated Food Safety
System (IFSS)
• Jointly developed and implemented inspection and
enforcement programs
• Benefits:
– Increased ability to assess potential risks at domestic
food facilities
– More consistent coverage of these facilities across the
entire food supply chain
– Greater food surveillance through integration of food
facility inspection information
– Improved rapid response capacity and efficiency
• Outcome: Increased public health protection

Announcing…
• The RRT Best
Practices Manual is
now available upon
request to DFSR
– Send an email to

• A resource for any
food regulatory
program wishing to
improve response
capabilities

Manufactured Food Regulatory
Program Standards (MFRPS)
• Uniform foundation for the design and management
of state programs responsible for regulating food plants
• Institute a comprehensive quality assurance &
standardization program
• FDA Program-Assessment
Validation Audits (PAVAs)
conducted at 18, 36
• Full program audit
conducted at 60 months
41 State Programs (40 States) enrolled in MFRPS)

– Up to $300,000/yr in funding
– Up to 5 years of funding
– Purpose: to assist State
manufactured food regulatory
programs to achieve and
