 Mandate of the Laboratory:

 LANAGRO-SP is an Official Laboratory of MAPA - Ministry of   Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply. It is to support, through   laboratory analysis, the inspection actions and monitoring programs   of the SDA - Agriculture and Livestock Defense Secretariat.

 Role in the farm-to-fork chain:

 The main role is to support MAPA’s policies such as to coordinate   and monitor technical studies, science and technology, analytical   tests and actions by trace, control, monitoring and evaluation   processes relating to the safety and quality of animal and vegetal   origin products, and animal health.

 National Reference Laboratory:

   Yes. LANAGRO-SP is an OIE reference laboratory for avian     influenza  and Newcastle disease diagnosis. As a national l   laboratory,  LANAGRO-SP also acts according to the MAPA’s policies   in official inspection programs, analysing products of animal origin,   animal feed, beverages, fertilizers, avian vaccines, anti- rabies   vaccines, veterinary drugs, pesticides and samples for avian   diagnosis, in order to ensure the safety and quality of the product for   domestic market, exporting and importing operations. Besides that,   LANAGRO- SP is reference laboratory to the PNCRC – National   Program for Residues and Contaminants Control, processing   samples of meat (poultry, cattle, swine, equine, and fish) and milk,   for exportation, importation and national trade. Other activities   includes the participation on audits in private laboratories of the   MAPA’s Network laboratories and research, development and   validation of laboratory methods.

Do you work with data? Here's a chance to harmonize individual quantitative food consumption data and publish it in FAO statistical databases.

FAO and WHO work jointly to improve the availability of Individual Quantitative Food Consumption Data worldwide by collating existing datasets, harmonizing them and sharing through an online platform called the FAO/WHO Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT).
 

This Call for Expression of Interest, issued by FAO, is to identify institutions from Low and Middle-Income Countries, with access to Individual Quantitative Food Consumption Data that could be shared through the FAO/WHO GIFT platform, interested in entering into a contractual agreement with FAO to harmonize these datasets as well as their supporting documentation according to FAO standards. Based on such agreement FAO will cover the costs of the harmonization work.

Thematic Areas

Para contar con alimentos seguros y saludables necesitamos de todos y todas: consumidores informados, una industria alimentaria responsable, productores capacitados, instituciones de fomento productivo que incorporan la inocuidad alimentaria y la calidad en sus programas e instrumentos y científicos que generen conocimiento e investigación que apoye el desarrolle de nuevas normativas y mejores procedimientos. Si bien, el Estado promueve todo lo anterior a partir de sus políticas, planes y programas, todos y todas tenemos una cuota de responsabilidad. La Agencia contribuye a mirar el sistema alimentario completo, analizar los puntos críticos y mejorar la coordinación entre todos estos actores.

El logro de la inocuidad de los alimentos como medio para proteger la salud pública y promover el desarrollo económico continúa siendo un importante desafío en los países tanto en desarrollo como desarrollados. Las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA) como consecuencia de patógenos microbianos y contaminantes químicos representan graves amenazas para la salud de millones de personas. En los pasados decenios se han documentado graves brotes de ETA en todos los continentes, lo que demuestra su importancia desde el punto de vista social y de salud pública.
