Interagency Risk Assessment Consortium (IRAC)
The Interagency Risk Assessment Consortium (IRAC) consists of representatives from US government agencies, institutes and centers with food safety responsibilities. Through the IRAC, the agencies will collectively work to enhance communication and coordination among the member agencies and promote the conduct of scientific research that will facilitate risk assessments. Such research will assist the regulatory agencies in fulfilling their specific food-safety risk management mandates.
