Twenty-five years ago, when our board co-chair, Michael Taylor, was administrator of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), he helped put in place a new food safety regulatory program to prevent foodborne illness from meat and poultry. This program was created in response to the tragically historic 1992-93 illness outbreak caused by ground beef contaminated with a particularly dangerous pathogen called E. coli O157:H7.
As the voice of people affected by foodborne illness, we collaborate with partners in academia, the food industry, and government to prevent foodborne illness. We advocate for effective food safety policy and facilitate culture change to increase food safety.
Stop Foodborne Illness is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows.
