EXPERTS
A unique and important site feature is that all answers are refereed
by a group of experts. In addition, this same group of experts is
available to answer consumer questions not found on the web site.
An expert is a person with, or who has access to, the knowledge
needed to provide accurate food safety answers with science- and
research-based information.
Experts include, but
are not limited to, the following:
- University
researchers – includes faculty, extension staff or
other personnel working in an area associated with food safety.
- Graduate
students – students who are working in and/or have
experience with an area associated with food safety.
- Industry
representatives – people working for companies associated
with food manufacturing and processing, food service or other
areas of the food industry
that impact food safety.
- Government
officials – includes federal and state employees with
a working knowledge of maintaining and improving consumer
food supplies.
To be eligible for serving
as a food safety expert, a candidate must meet at least two of the
following conditions:
- bachelor’s,
master’s, or PhD from an accredited college or university.
- membership in a food
safety or food-related association such as the:
- International Association
of Food Protection

Technologists

Health Association

Association
