About the College/Unit/Department

University of Georgia founded the Center for Food Safety (CFS) in 1992 to promote food safety and its role in protecting the agricultural system. Since that time, CFS has been a leader of multidisciplinary, innovative research to improve the safety of food. CFS researchers develop ways to detect, control and eliminate harmful microorganisms and their toxins from the food supply.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually in the U.S. That's roughly one in six Americans who will contract a foodborne illness which come from such common products as produce, meat, fish, dairy and poultry.

Most of these illnesses are caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. Food safety is a vital component of the entire agricultural production system and is critical to ensuring food security.

Located about 35 miles south of Atlanta on UGA's Griffin Campus, CFS's state- of-the-art facilities enable faculty to conduct cutting-edge research in food safety. The expertise within CFS is broad and involves every stage of the food supply chain, from the growing fields and barns to consumers' plates.
