The Conference for Food Protection brings together representatives from the food industry, government, academia, and consumer organizations to identify and address emerging problems of food safety and to formulate recommendations. The conference seeks to balance the interests of regulatory and industry people while providing an open forum for the consideration of ideas from any source. Although the conference has no formal regulatory authority, it profoundly influences model laws and regulations among all government agencies and minimizes disparate interpretations and implementation.
