| The American food supply is among the safest in the world; however, it is estimated that between 6.5 and 81 million cases occur each year resulting in 5,000 food-related deaths. The CDC reports that 97% of all cases result from improper handling of food, of which 79% result from food prepared in commercial or institutional establishments. A diverse range in capacity and capability present in food safety surveillance and Epidemiology programs in states and big cities aid in monitoring and protecting the food supply throughout the U.S. This session provides an overview of current infrastructure development and environmental health practices to address food protection capacity in the U.S. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will: (1) Recognize the importance of continued research in food safety; (2) Be able to discuss food safety program s at the state and big city level as well as the diversity among them; (3) Understand implications of food safety research in program development, funding, and policymaking; (4) Discuss methods to address identified needs and the national direction of food safety programs; (5) Be able to articulate diversity and development needs of state public health laboratories; (6) Be able to compare and contrast the function of the retail inspection process as perceived by registered sanitarians and county health department administrators; (7) Understand differences between rural and urban food safety practices; (8) Be able to evaluate risks to public health based on differences in policy implementation and practice; (9) Identify trends in violations and policy implementation; (10) Describe the food component of the US EPA cumulative risk assessment model; (11) Discuss the science-policy decisions involved in pesticide regulation. | |||
