 Inspecting food production establishments and food warehouses.

 Collecting and analyzing samples for physical, chemical, and microbial contamination.

 Reviewing safety of food and color additives before marketing.

 Reviewing animal drugs for safety to animals that receive them, and humans who eat food produced from the animals.

 Monitoring safety of animal feeds used in food‐producing animals.

 Developing model codes and ordinances, guidelines and interpretations, and working with states to implement them.

 Establishing good food manufacturing practices and other production standards, such as plant sanitation, packaging requirements, and hazard analysis and critical control point programs.

 Working with foreign governments to ensure safety of certain imported food products.

 Requesting manufacturers to recall unsafe food products and monitoring those recalls.

 Taking appropriate enforcement actions.

 Educating industry and consumers on safe food‐handling practices.
