Food Safety Advisory Council

About FSAC

The Food Safety Advisory Council (FSAC) works with Environmental Health's Food Protection Program in developing policies, regulations and interpretive guides. FSAC also assists the food industry in understanding laws, regulations, and the reasoning behind them. FSAC is a collaborative effort between business and government, comprised of representatives from the retail food industry, related businesses, and Food Protection Program staff. The overall goal of the Council is to enhance cooperation, involvement and understanding between county government and the food industry. FSAC has provided valuable input on pertinent issues such as new legislation, new industry products, and implementation of new policies.

For more information regarding FSAC, please contact FSAC Chairperson Sia Haghighi (714) 940-2416, or Environmental Health's Food Protection Program Manager, Mike Haller (714) 433-6012.

FSAC Food Safety Art Contest

Last year, FSAC challenged students throughout Orange County to come up with their own food safety hero or villian. An art contest was held and only freehand drawn entries were accepted. No computer generated or assisted art was allowed. We were blown away by the creativity and talent of Orange County's aspiring artists. Check out some of the entries below!
