The United States has a long history of government food regulation that involves all levels of government. Several federal agencies work to ensure the safety of food before it ever enters your establishment. Most state and local governments have adopted the FDA Food Code (or a form of it) to regulate the food establishments under their jurisdiction. Safety regulations that affect food establishments are typically written into law at the state level. In most instances, local authorities are responsible for enforcing a state’s food safety regulations through inspections.

There are a number of state and federal regulatory agencies that are responsible in some way for food safety. Below is a list of some of those agencies:

  • FDA
  • USDA
  • FSIS
