National protocol for information sharing with national and international partners during food safety events and outbreaks of foodborne illness
Overview
The following text can serve as a starting point for the development of a national protocol for information sharing among various stakeholders involved in food safety emergency response in your State Party. This includes members of the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN), the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) National Focal Point (NFP), and other stakeholders as appropriate. The final document, when adapted to your national context, should provide a clear guidance about the procedures for communication between domestic authorities, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO), including the INFOSAN Secretariat.
