The enforcement of dairy and food safety regulations has fallen most heavily on the states in the past, and this responsibility will no doubt continue, and even expand, in the future. States must be concerned not only about their own state laws but also about the impact of increasing federal regulations. The protection of sample integrity and chain of custody is an important function of a state regulatory program for food safety. Because of increasing demands imposed by new technology and food safety requirements, and because of very limited resources, states have difficulty maintaining adequate regulatory programs. The future challenge will be the ability of states to coordinate regulation, sample analysis, and enforcement between federal and state agencies. States must continue their roles of ensuring consumers that food is safe and wholesome while maintaining viable state food industries.
过去，乳制品和食品安全法规的执行主要由各州承担，毫无疑问，这一责任在未来将继续存在，甚至会扩大。各州不仅要关注本州的法律，还要关注联邦法规不断增加所带来的影响。保护样品完整性和监管链是州食品安全监管计划的一项重要职能。由于新技术和食品安全要求带来的需求不断增加，以及资源非常有限，各州难以维持适当的监管计划。未来的挑战将是各州在联邦和州机构之间协调监管、样品分析和执法的能力。各州必须继续发挥作用，确保消费者相信食品是安全和有益健康的，同时维持有活力的州食品产业。
