State, UC Davis Partner on Food Safety

The California Department of Food and Agriculture and the University of California Davis’s Center for Produce Safety have agreed to work together to improve the Food and Agriculture Department’s grant and funding processes.

The Department of Food and Agriculture intends to dedicate a portion of that funding, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to food-safety improvement programs.
