Food Source Information Colorado Integrated Food Safety Center of Excellence

Need

Basic and timely information on agricultural production practices for foods suspected or implicated during a foodborne illness outbreak will better equip outbreak responders to determine the cause of the outbreak and contributing factors. This information is vital for preventing further illnesses and outbreaks.

Goal

Our goal is to provide public health professionals with rapid access to basic information on production practices and food distribution systems for a range of agricultural food products, from farm to fork. By centralizing this information and delivering it in a format that meets the needs of public health professionals, we aim to bridge an important knowledge gap and improve outbreak response nationwide.
