Project Summary The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) will establish an operational framework with the Retail Food Safety Collaborative (Collaborative) that will be based on a mutually beneficial and well-defined relationship to achieve common goals in retail food safety. ASTHO, in partnership with the retail food regulatory associations, will support the Collaborative’s six specific aims: 1. Develop a national Food Code adoption strategy, including the Food Code Adoption Tool Kit. 2. Improve the approach, competency, and food safety culture in the regulatory community. 3. Increase enrollment, engagement, and conformance in the Voluntary National Retail Food Regulatory Program Standards (Program Standards). 4. Improve foodborne outbreak investigation methods. 5. Increase the number of establishments that have well-developed and implemented Food Safety Management Systems. 6. Develop a strategy to enhance communication and better tell our collective story. This proposal’s overall objective is to support and enhance efforts by the Collaborative to reduce the incidence of foodborne illness. ASTHO plans to meet this objective by carrying out discrete activities focused on the six specific aims and by engaging ASTHO’s membership (state and territorial health commissioners) and four important ASTHO peer networks: 1) Public Health Lawyers Peer Network, 2) State/Territorial Legislative Liaison Peer Network, 3) State/Territorial Environmental Health Directors and 4) State Tribal Liaisons Peer Network.
