Food Safety
Food Safety is an important area for every single person
in Pennsylvania. Every year, one in six Americans
suffers from a food-related illness. Preventing food-borne illnesses will
improve public health and avoid the costly disruptions of the food supply
system caused by illness outbreaks.
The mission of the Bureau of Food Safety and Laboratory Services is to protect and keep food safe, from the farm to the fork, by educating, regulating and ensuring compliance with food safety laws and regulations. The Bureau has several divisions where each provides important oversight to the production and service of safe food.
