Welcome to the American Council for
Food Safety & Quality

The American Council for Food Safety & Quality was created nearly 100 years ago to promote better understanding among growers, processors and purchasers of dried fruit and tree nuts. Originally incorporated as the Dried Fruit Association of California, we have expanded well beyond our initial mission to include a full-service food laboratory, sanitation audits, HACCP certification, technical research, product inspections, arbitrations and ever increasing international involvement. We are a non-profit organization with voluntary membership. By the very nature of our organization we can move swiftly, effectively and in a businesslike way to solve industry problems as they arise.

For decades we have maintained a state-of-the-art laboratory managed by an experienced, professional staff, and our team performs critical food testing and analysis for clients all over in the world:

Pesticides

Food Additives

Microbiologicals

Filth

Mycotoxins

In 1995 the American Council for Food Safety & Quality began a formal working partnership agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and we work closely with government agencies, universities and various commodity boards in both sponsoring and initiating research.

We look forward to developing a relationship with your firm or organization. Contact us with any questions.
