    t_title: What is food safety organizations ?
    t_description: Food safety organizations work to prevent food-borne illnesses by managing and coordinating food production, processing, and preparation. They do this through inspection, education, training, research, and public health initiatives. After the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a series of reports in December 2016 that confirmed widespread structural failures in the inspections process at a major chicken producer, the company was shut down for more than a month.
