As the worldwide food system becomes increasingly complex, the challenge of maintaining food safety increases. Professionals working in state and local health departments and those working in food safety outreach at universities often share common goals to inform the public about food-related issues and prevent foodborne illness. Collaborations between public health agencies and academic departments can combine complementary strengths to better address many food-related issues. Links between these groups may not be formalized, but fostering connections between food safety networks can be beneficial in various ways, including providing assistance during outbreak investigations.
