Guidelines for Foodborne Disease Outbreak Response

CIFOR has developed consensus guidelines for foodborne disease outbreak detection and response. The Guidelines describe the overall approach to foodborne disease outbreaks, including preparation, detection, investigation, control and follow-up. The Guidelines also describe the roles of all key organizations in foodborne disease outbreaks. The Guidelines are targeted at local, state and federal agencies that are responsible for preventing and managing foodborne disease. Click here to learn more.

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other CIFOR members have provided a mechanism for food safety leaders to comment on the implementation of the Guidelines. Click Here to provide your feedback on the implementation of the Guidelines.
