On March 14, 2009, President Barack Obama announced the creation of a new Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) to advise him on how to upgrade the U.S. food safety system. Since then, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a number of initiatives with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to coordinate food safety projects and programs more effectively with each other. One of them, “Strengthening Federal Coordination to Address Cross-Cutting Problems” will be examined. Questions that will be addressed include: “What are the catalysts for the creation of the FSWG? What federal food safety initiatives are currently taking place? And, how will these agencies respond to future
challenges?

It is called, "Be a voice" and it gives you the opportunity to tell us what you’d like to experience at the AEC. Tell us topics you’d like to hear about and speakers you’d like to see. Review abstracts and provide input.
Help NEHA develop a training and education experience that continues to advance the proficiency of the environmental health profession AND helps create bottom line improvements for your organization!To search for specific abstracts, please use the search box located at the top left of the page (*next to the Blogger icon).
