Description:In 2009, the Council to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response (CIFOR) developed Guidelines for Foodborne Disease Outbreak Response to aid government agencies responsible for preventing and managing foodborne disease by establishing a foundation for outbreak response and encouraging a standardized foodborne disease investigation process across all government agencies.
There is no standard approach utilized by public health/regulatory authorities for foodborne disease outbreak response. No one set of steps is appropriate for all outbreaks. The response varies with the outbreak and surrounding circumstances (e.g., etiologic agent, number of cases, and likely source of exposure).
The CIFOR Industry Guidelines outlines, clarifies, and explains the recommended role of owners, operators, and managers of food establishments in a foodborne illness outbreak investigation. The CIFOR Industry Guidelines was developed by food industry leaders and local, state, and federal regulatory and non-regulatory public health agencies with expertise in epidemiology, environmental health, laboratory science, communications, and food industry operations and is an example of what can be achieved to promote food safety when public health and industry work in partnership.
