Food Safety In The United States

209 Words1 Pages
In the United States, there are three main government agencies that are involved with food safety: the Food and Drug Administrations (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These agencies work together to advise consumers how to safely buy, store, and prepare food. One way these agencies provide food safety is through food inspection and grading. Inspections are divided between the FDA and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the USDA. The inspections can lead to voluntary recalls by manufactures or distributors Grading is the process of judging the quality of meat and poultry, and is operated by the USDA jointly with state departments of agriculture.
