Directory of FDA Retail Food Specialists
The Office of Retail Food Protection (ORFP) is comprised of two divisions, the Division of Retail Food Protection Policy, Research and Risk Assessment (DRFPPRRA) and the Division of Retail Food Protection Implementation (DRFPI). The DRFPPRRA serves as the Agency liaison for retail food and interstate travel conveyance policy with State partners, other Federal agencies and industry associations in administering the federal portion of the federal/state cooperative retail food protection program and provides expert advice to advance public health through the development of science-informed regulation, policy and guidance for retail food safety and interstate conveyances. The DRFPI consists of FDA Retail Food Specialists who work with state, local, tribal and territorial regulatory agencies throughout the United States. Retail Food Specialists serve as the primary point of contact for state officials concerning the voluntary regulatory retail food program standards. Retail Food Specialists promote the enrollment and implementation of the voluntary national retail food regulatory program standards and the complete and uniform adoption of the Model Food Code. They train and standardize state, local, tribal and other jurisdictional regulatory personnel as well as provide guidance and technical assistance on retail food protection programs.
