The Federal Food Service Program

Abstract
The Division of Food Service, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is concerned with food safety when food is offered to consumers for consumption. This includes an estimated 600,000 institutional and commercial food service establishments, 300,000 retail stores, and vending machine sites numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Plans to accomplish this mission include achievement of uniform regulations and uniform enforcement procedures nationwide based on FDA standards, providing and/or supporting training and certification programs for regulatory officials and industry, developing and supporting self-inspection/quality assurance programs, evaluation of State programs, technical assistance to State regulatory agencies, and development of a model data processing system to aid program administration at the State level.
