The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture—teamed up in 2011 to create the Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration (IFSAC).
By bringing together the science from CDC, FDA and FSIS, and by developing sound analytical methods, IFSAC’s goal was to improve estimates of the sources of foodborne illness.
IFSAC this week announced its priorities for 2024 to 2028
During 2024 – 2028 IFSAC will focus on generating the most accurate and actionable estimates for foodborne illness source attribution in the United States by leveraging the latest science, data, and methods, and will communicate these estimates to stakeholders in government, industry, academia, and consumer organizations.
