Dear FAFP Members,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our site. The Florida Association for Food Protection (FAFP) is the Florida Affiliate of the International Association for Food Protection. Whether you’re from industry, regulatory, academia, or just have an interest in advancing food safety, FAFP offers an excellent opportunity for learning, networking, and collaboration through:

· Educational Luncheons

As food safety professionals we aim to protect the food supply and remain current on relevant and emerging issues. The food supply is interconnected from farm to fork and globally sourced. The complexity of identifying and managing the hazards in a product commodity and/or process is the responsibility of all food safety professionals. In a world that is constantly changing the best way forward is through partnership, collaboration, and working together with a priority focus on food safety and protecting public health. This field more than ever needs pioneer champions for conducting valuable research, willing to be informed of the science, identifying the hazard(s), and implementing the processes that will obtain the behavior-based food safety integration. 

Welcome to the Florida Association for Food Protection! Be the change you want to see in the world, in our field, in food safety, and protecting public health.

Best Regards,

Vanessa Cranford

FAFP 2020 President
