Annual Contributing Partners are the non-profit organizations that form the leadership base of the Partnership for Food Safety Education. In other words, they are the “partners” in the “Partnership” and they help contribute to the Partnership’s mission to save lives and improve public health through research-based, actionable consumer food safety initiatives that reduce food borne illness.
Only trade associations, public interest and scientific organizations with direct involvement in securing, maintaining and promoting a safe and secure food supply for consumers are invited to be full Contributing Partners. Several of the current PFSE partners have been contributors for more than ten years (these organizations are marked with an asterisk on this list).
