About IFSAC

IFSAC coordinates analyses from three federal agencies on foodborne illness source attribution

CDC, FDA, USDA logos

Federal agencies and food safety experts rely on attribution to inform strategic planning and risk-based decision-making, estimate benefits of interventions, and evaluate the impact of interventions. By bringing together data from CDC, FDA and FSIS, and by developing sound analytical methods, IFSAC scientists can improve estimates of the sources of foodborne illness.
