AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Governments  U.S. Territory or Possession
Description: The intended outcome of this FOA is to advance efforts for a nationally integrated food safety system by assisting State manufactured food regulatory programs to achieve and maintain conformance with the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS). The MFRPS are intended to ensure that State manufactured food regulatory programs develop, and maintain best practices for a high-quality regulatory program. Also, the program standards are intended to enhance food safety by establishing a uniform basis for measuring and improving the performance of manufactured food regulatory programs in the United States. Conformance with these program standards will help Federal and State programs better direct their regulatory activities at reducing hazards in firms that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods. Grantees may also choose to pursue special projects that will further enhance the capacity of the State manufactured food regulatory program to protect public health and safeguard the food supply.
