The Committee is comprised of members from local, state and federal level government agency representatives, industry representatives, and academia. To support the efforts and successful initiatives of this committee, the FSDAC seeks funding from the U.S Food and Drug Administration in the amount of $42,600. Through the Annual Food Safety Conference, regular membership meetings, surveying the needs with the overall community, and community outreach, the FSTF will work to bridge the of knowledge between industry and government regulation, work to change behaviors in a positive direction, and build a strong foundation for future community leaders in that area of food safety. In the time of the pandemic the task force had to adopt virtual meeting platforms. Post pandemic we will continue with a virtual aspect of the conference as well as in person. This will allow those that are not able to travel to the conference to view on live stream
