Abstract: Local and state food safety programs (FSPs) are on the frontline of foodborne disease prevention in the U.S. However, in the current economic milieu, these programs along with other public health programs are being eliminated due to funding reductions. The purpose of this study is to 1) describe the current status and activities of local and state FSPs; 2) describe changes in status and activities that occurred within FSPs from 2007-2012; and to 3) determine if there is a relationship between different levels of FSP funding and FSP status and activities. This survey will involve state and local health departments implementing food safety programs in the United States. Data collected will help us better understand the relationship between different levels of funding and FSP activities.
