Description:In 2011, three federal agencies—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-FSIS)—joined together to create the Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration (IFSAC). The purpose of this collaboration is to improve coordination of federal food safety analytic efforts and address cross-cutting priorities for food safety data collection, analysis, and use. IFSAC’s focus during its first five years was foodborne illness source attribution: identifying which foods are the most important sources of selected major foodborne illnesses.
During the period covered by IFSAC’s first Strategic Plan (2012-2016), IFSAC aimed to improve methods to categorize foods implicated in outbreaks; generate estimates of the percentage of certain foodborne illnesses due to each food source attribution; identify data needs; take steps to determine how to better acquire, improve, and organize data available for source attribution; validate current methods and modeling approaches; develop improved methods; and create a plan for communicating results to the public. To achieve these aims, the three federal agencies developed individual statement of needs that informed IFSAC’s first strategic plan, which focused on improving foodborne illness source attribution estimates. Scientists from the three agencies then designed and completed foundational analyses and projects. Projects were designed to complement each other to ensure maximum use and efficiency and to incrementally build on each other to allow for the pursuit of increasingly challenging objectives and projects.
