Contact the Human Foods Program (HFP)
The Human Foods Program (HFP) oversees all FDA activities related to food safety and nutrition, organized in a single group working under the Deputy Commissioner of Human Foods. Our vision is to ensure that food is a source of wellness for all U.S. consumers, and our day-to-day activities are focused at protecting and promoting the health and wellness of all people through science-based approaches to prevent foodborne illness, reduce diet related chronic disease, and ensure chemicals in food are safe. The Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods supports this work by providing leadership and strategic direction for all FDA-wide HFP activities, including food related inspections and investigations.
