CRFSC

The California Retail Food Safety Coalition (CRFSC) was formed in December 1993 as the “Committee to Review CURFFL”[1]/ when a group of interested parties (local environmental health officials, the Food and Drug Branch of the California Department of Health Services (DHS), and various segments of the retail food service industry) met to discuss a number of troublesome issues which they all faced. The "founders" of the CRFSC were concerned about, among other things, the fact that during previous years there had been a rash of special-interest legislation that was introduced at the urging of selected members of the food service industry. Unfortunately, much of that new legislation was not based upon sound public health principles. [more info]
