Dramatic improvements in reducing the burden of foodborne illness cannot be made without doing more to influence the beliefs, attitudes, and, most importantly, the behaviors of people and the actions of organizations. FDA protects and promotes public health through outreach and education by increasing public awareness about FDA’s food programs and policies and providing advice on preventing foodborne illness and making healthful food choices.
Explore the progress CFSAN is making towards its Education and Outreach efforts below:
Consumer Outreach
FDA protects public health more effectively by informing and engaging with consumers and other stakeholders. FDA is maximizing this engagement by increasing our use of social media, responding promptly to press and constituent inquiries, and translating safety and regulatory resources into other languages. These outreach efforts enable consumers to make better informed decisions in purchasing and using cosmetics, while also assisting the increasingly global industry in achieving compliance with U.S. safety and labeling requirements.
Food Safety Web Presence
The Web Team maintains CFSAN's webpage content to interact with the public and captures viewership data to determine its usefulness.
