4 I. Background National Residue Program (NRP): Goals/Purpose Provide a structured process for identifying and evaluating chemical compounds of concern in food animals. Test for the presence of chemical compounds: veterinary drugs, pesticides, hormones, and environmental contaminants in meat, poultry, and egg products. Identify need for regulatory follow-up when violative levels of chemicals residues are found. 4

5 I. Background National Residue Program (NRP): Process FSIS inspectors collect samples of meat, poultry, and Siluriformes (catfish) muscle tissue as well as egg products at federally inspected establishments. Samples are analyzed at FSIS laboratories for chemical residues of veterinary drugs, pesticides, and environmental contaminants. Laboratory confirmed results are compared with tolerances established by the FDA and the EPA, to prevent adulterated products from entering into commerce. 5

6 I. Background Laboratory System Western Laboratory (Albany, CA) Midwestern Laboratory (St. Louis, MO) Eastern Laboratory and LQAS (Athens, GA) 6

7 I. Background Analytical Chemistry Capabilities of the Laboratories Midwestern Laboratory Inspector-generated residue analysis, primarily veterinary drugs Western Laboratory and Eastern Laboratory Scheduled chemistry analysis as described in the National Residue Program (NRP) EL Metals; food chemistry WL Pesticides All three labs are ISO and ALACC accredited 7

13 IV. Preliminary Test Results Inspector Generated Samples In-Plant Screening From FSIS Directive 10,800.1: II. INSPECTOR-GENERATED SAMPLING A. In-Plant Screening Test (KIS Test) Under the direction of the Public Health Veterinarian (PHV), In-Plant Personnel (IPP) are to conduct a KIS test on any carcass that, based on herd history or ante-mortem or post-mortem inspection findings, may contain a violative drug residue. 13

14 IV. Preliminary Test Results Inspector Generated Samples In-Plant Screening KIS = Kidney Inhibition Swab Score kidney, collect juice using swab Incubate in bacteria/agar solution If bacteria produce acid, no antimicrobial drugs are present, and the test is yellow (negative) If bacteria are inhibited due to antimicrobial drugs, the color remains purple (positive) 14

26 VI. NARMS (National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System) and FSIS s Role FSIS began cecal sampling in 2013 pre-intervention yet post slaughter Cecal sampling has further strengthened NARMS surveillance by adding another sampling point and additional ~ 5000 samples FSIS laboratory processes successfully sequenced and uploaded into NCBI the NARMS Salmonella and Campylobacter isolates in near-real-time FSIS initiated a process to inform FSIS-regulated entities about unusual AMR findings 26

27 VI. NARMS and FSIS s Role FSIS continues to work with NARMS partners to: Develop a new strategic plan based on the recommendations from Science Board Host a NARMS Public Meeting (Oct 24 th and 25 th ) Adopt the new Tableau system for data handling, processing, and visualization of FSIS NARMS data 27

28 VII. Where can I find more information? For NARMS: See the FSIS website 28

29 VII. Where can I find more information? For Chemistry Methods: FSIS Chemistry Laboratory Guidebook (CLG) website To get updates by 29
