Scientific Criteria to Ensure Safe Food
Requested by Congress in PL 106-387, Scientific Criteria to Ensure Safe Food, provides a blueprint for how the agencies responsible for regulating food safety should develop appropriate, science-based criteria and identifies barriers that impede regulatory actions to improve food safety. Report recommendations include the development of a national plan to harmonize foodborne disease surveillance with the monitoring of pathogens across the food production and distribution continuum and the adoption of science-based, transparent strategies to develop food safety criteria by food regulatory agencies.
These series of briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on April 24, 2003 and can be found, in its entirety, on the National Academy Press Web site.
