1: Recommandations
The Committee advice helps protect public health by generating food safety advice for US food safety programs, the food industry,
and consumers. The Committee allows federal food safety agencies to collaborate with the highest level of scientific expertise
on food safety issues so the most current science can be incorporated into programs. The NACMCF is necessary to provide outside
expertise and specialized scientific and technical advice on questions provided by the sponsoring agencies based on the development
of regulatory food safety policy. NACMCF technical and scientific advice is provided to federal agencies responsible for ensuring
the safety of the food supply so that the agencies can develop regulatory policies that are scientifically sound. The NACMCF
serves to enhance the safety of our food supply, and this is in the public interest and assists the federal sponsors in meeting
their statutory responsibilities. NACMCF also serves as an excellent public forum for food safety issues related to microbiological
criteria for foods.
