INFOSAN members’ guide

Overview

The new International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) Members’ Guide has been developed taking a participatory approach and includes contributions from the INFOSAN Advisory Group and several members from around the world. The purpose of this document is to serve as a functional reference guide for members of INFOSAN. The guide is split into two parts covering both organizational and practical information about INFOSAN and member participation. The first part of the guide provides a general overview of the structure and functions of INFOSAN, network organisation, roles and responsibilities of the INFOSAN Secretariat, Advisory Group and members, as well as information about the INFOSAN Community Website. The second part provides details about the operational aspects around the communication of international food safety incidents. Sources of information are described along with guidance on the process for reporting food safety incidents to the INFOSAN Secretariat.
