The ASFS continues to act as an important forum for dialogue on food safety between government and industry, based on our shared commitment to providing consumers with safe, nutritious, high-quality food. In the past year, the Subcommittee has moved on from its initial focus on information-sharing to a more active phase involving both government and industry participants. 1, record 1, English, - Agri%2Dsubcommittee%20on%20food%20safety

Le SCSA continue de constituer un important forum pour les échanges sur la salubrité des aliments entre le gouvernement et l'industrie, en se fondant sur notre engagement commun à fournir aux consommateurs des aliments salubres, nutritifs et de grande qualité. Cette dernière année, le Sous-comité s'est éloigné de son point de mire initial, qui était axé sur la mise en commun d'information, et est entré dans une période d'activité accrue impliquant la participation de représentants de l'industrie et du gouvernement. 1, record 1, French, - Sous%2Dcomit%C3%A9%20sur%20la%20salubrit%C3%A9%20des%20aliments%20de%20l%27agriculture%20et%20de%20l%27agroalimentaire
