By cultivating food safety knowledge through applied research, extension, and outreach, the Institute for Food Safety at Cornell University (IFS@CU) is helping the food industry meet federal regulatory requirements and produce safe products. Located in the fabulous Finger Lakes, the IFS@CU operates out of Cornell AgriTech at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY. The Cornell AgriTech community comprises research scientists and extension experts from across the fields of food science, horticulture, plant breeding and genetics, plant pathology and entomology, making it an ideal environment for the IFS@CU as it proactively works to support the food industry in addressing food safety issues to prevent illnesses and outbreaks. The IFS@CU cultivates food safety knowledge through collaboration with the following programs: • The Produce Safety Alliance (PSA); • The National Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Program; • The Food Safety Laboratory and Milk Quality Improvement Program (MQIP); • The New York Integrated Food Safety Center of Excellence; • The Dairy Extension Program; • The High Pressure Processing (HPP) Validation Center; and • The Cornell Food Venture Center (FVC).
