Food Safety: Resources

There are many great resources for food safety! A few are listed below. Most can be used for both professional and personal. And many include information beyond food safety.

• Centers for Disease Control (CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/, www.cdc.gov/outbreaknet, www.cdc.gov/foodborneoutbreaks (The last one is great for searching for outbreaks by state, location [hospital, restaurant, etc.] and by etiology.)
  
• Federal Food Safety Information http://www.foodsafety.gov/
  
• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) http://www.fda.gov/
  
• Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) http://www.fsis.usda.gov/

And don’t forget your professional associations such as the American Dietetic Association (http://www.eatright.org/) and the Dietary Managers Association (http://www.dmaonline.org/)!
