Other Actions in pursuit of AFDO’s vision:

¨       Continued a partnership with the FDA via a Dietary Supplement Workgroup.  The objectives of this workgroup are to determine the training and information needed to enable state agencies to bring greater value to the preventive and enforcement activities related to the regulation of dietary supplements.  As a product of this workgroup, FDA sponsored a meeting with the AFDO representatives, CFSAN, ORA, and FTC in April 2003.

¨       Develop a national meeting to integrate food security programs (federal, state, local, industry, etc.).  A workgroup was established and it developed an agenda and objectives for a national meeting to be held in the spring of 2004, gathered support from various agencies and industry groups and sent out a security survey to all the state and local food and agriculture agencies.
