About the Meeting
The Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Alliance (MFRPA) meeting will provide topic-specific training and resource materials on the Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards (MFRPS) to State Food Program Managers, State MFRPS Coordinators, and FDA personnel. The meeting will include presentations, roundtable discussions, and interactive exercises. The elements of the MFRPS describe the best practices of a high-quality food regulatory program and encourage continuous program improvement and innovation. Achieving and maintaining conformance with the MFRPS by State manufactured food regulatory programs is critical for improving public health outcomes, reducing the incidence of foodborne illness, and advancing an integrated national food safety system as mandated by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Participation in this meeting will assist State manufactured food programs in achieving conformance with the MFRPS and promote the continuous quality improvement of state food safety programs.
