International Food Protection Training Institute (IFPTI)
The International Food Protection Training Institute (IFPTI) was established in 2009 by the Global Food Protection Institute (GFPI) in partnership with the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO).
The IFPTI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization building and administering the training infrastructure for the nation’s integrated food safety system. Working with federal regulatory and public health officials, IFPTI is establishing and overseeing the implementation of a career-spanning food protection training curriculum that will increase capacity, and assure competency and equivalency throughout all regulatory jurisdictions in meeting established U.S. federal food safety standards.
IFPTI is a member of the GFPI global initiative, a knowledge-exchange and resource-development network seeking to influence the adoption of food protection practices and policies in pursuit of a safe, secure, and healthy food supply. Financial support for IFPTI is provided by a grant from the Food and Drug Administration, and through the generosity of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. [More Information]
