National Programs Food Safety, (animal and plant products)
ARS National Program The United States food supply is among the world's safest and most wholesome. However, significant food safety problems can cause either human illness or economic losses and threaten the international competitiveness of American agriculture. The recent Food Safety Initiative (FSI) has highlighted food safety, and, in particular, the control of food borne pathogens, as an important concern of the entire Federal Government. Reduction in the potential health risks to consumers from human pathogens in food is the most important food safety goal. ARS has the resources, including appropriate physical facilities, state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, and scientific expertise and experience to address and make significant contributions in all of these areas.
