The Food Protection Plan

Two small boxes, one labeled "food safety," the other labeled "food defense," are shown here with arrows from each box leading upward to a larger box labeled "The Food Protection Plan." Listed under "The Food Protection Plan" are the three main parts of the plan: (1) prevention, which builds safety in from the start, (2) intervention, which includes risk-based inspections and testing, and (3) response, which is rapid reaction, effective communication.
