National Integrated Food
Safety Initiative
The National Integrated Food Safety Initiative
(NIFSI) is primarily a food safety program,
but a portion of this program addresses processing
technologies for reduction and elimination
of foodborne pathogens and allergens. Under
Integrated Authority (Section 406), CSREES
administers competitive grants in food safety
activities that integrate research, education,
and extension in priority areas that are
based on stakeholder input. The food science
and technology component addresses the impact
of alternative technologies on food safety.
