Food Safety

Food Manufacturers & Marketers

Since its initiation, CIFT has made food safety its foremost objective as we have worked with our network of food manufacturers and vendors to develop new technologies. Our mission in developing new technologies has been to assure food safety along every step of the way, hence our involvement in developing and improving food safety systems with members and non-members alike. The combination of our professional staff and network of food safety experts make it possible for us to provide a variety of support services in food safety and security.
