What is the Partnership for Food Protection (PFP)?
• A partnership of Federal, State & Local officials, established in 2009, working together to protect the nation’s food supply and public health by contributing to the development & implementation of an Integrated Food Safety System (IFSS)
• The PFP is responsible for developing tools, resources, and best practices that advance an IFSS, but it is up to the individual strategic partners to utilize these items in their daily business
• The PFP is not a policy setting body
PFP Operational Structure• Since the 2012 50-state workshop, a formal governance
structure was developed, which created the PFP Governing Council (GC)
• PFP is comprised of a Governing Council, who is the leadership body for the partnership, and various Workgroups
• The PFP GC has formalized decision-making processes
• Continually trying to improve processes for Workgroups
Some Responsibilities of the PFP Governing Council
• To be responsible for overall leadership, management, and direction of PFP
• To identify strategic areas that further the development of an IFSS
• To establish workgroups as needed, and provide support and guidance
• Develop PFP reports, receive and review plans from workgroups
