FDA, FSIS, CDC collaborate on methods to measure success of food safety programs
The public workshop will include explanations, by CDC, of how rates of foodborne illness are estimated for various purposes; for example, to determine overall rates of foodborne illness and rates for specific pathogens. FDA, FSIS, and a state representative will describe other measurements they use to gauge the success of policies and other interventions for reducing foodborne illness. Details of the workshop can be found in this document (PDF).
