Updated CIFOR Guidelines for Foodborne Outbreak Response Released

The Council to Improve Foodborne Outbreak Response (CIFOR) has updated its CIFOR Guidelines for Foodborne Disease Outbreak Response in a streamlined third edition. The guidelines are a comprehensive source of information on foodborne disease investigation and control for local, state, territorial, tribal, and federal health agencies. The revised guidelines address rapid and continuing changes in many aspects of food safety, including laboratory technology, data sharing, improved disease detection methods, increasing centralization of food production, and changing eating habits. The guidelines can be downloaded now. A limited number of free, printed versions will be available in fall 2020.
