Manufactured Foods Flexible Funding Model (MF-FFM)

The Manufactured Foods Flexible Funding Model (MF-FFM) aims to strengthen the nation’s integrated food safety system by supporting state-level regulatory programs that ensure high standards in the oversight of manufactured foods and dietary supplements. This initiative promotes the adoption of Manufactured Food Regulatory Program Standards to establish consistent, best-practice frameworks across states, enhancing uniformity in food safety enforcement and performance measurement. It also seeks to bolster state compliance and enforcement infrastructure and support Food Protection Task Force programs to improve coordination and responsiveness in food safety efforts. Funded by the Food and Drug Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, the program provides flexible funding to enable states to tailor their approaches to local needs while meeting national benchmarks. The opportunity, posted on July 21, 2022, is intended for eligible entities seeking grants to improve their regulatory capabilities.
