PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The project “Expansion of Training and Program Components to Maintain Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards” is designed to further advance the manufactured food program in the State of Wyoming. Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Consumer Health Services (WDA/CHS) has made great strides in improving the manufactured food program statewide with the assistance of the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). In October 2017 WDA/CHS was elated to learn that after the 60 month Program Assessment Validation Audit (PAVA) the program was in conformance with the MFRPS. WDA/CHS takes great pride in providing a quality program for our inspection personnel and industry to be part of. This project will address four (4) goals. The first goal is to adequately train our inspection personnel and continue to meet MFPRS requirements. This training will equip inspection personnel with the knowledge and ability to conduct quality inspections and further advance WDA/CHS to be part of an Integrated Food Safety System. The training received will also be used to provide education to industry. The second goal of this project is for WDA/CHS to continue to show incredible growth in outreach to our clientele. Through this project WDA/CHS will develop and produce a guide for Manufactured Food processors addressing 21 CFR 117 and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations and publish the Wyoming Food Safety Rule revision. This project includes outreach to establishments required to have a Preventative Controls Qualified Individual by providing FSPCA Preventative Controls for Human Food Training. The third goal of this project is to adequately equip our inspection personnel to complete the inspections. Additionally, WDA/CHS plans to expand our routine sampling program. All of the goals listed above are incorporated into the final goal of this project, which is to advance the manufactured food program and continue to conform to the MFRPS.
