Food Safety Analytics Websites

Food safety is a global challenge that significantly impacts public health and economies. Data analytics offers new opportunities for preventing the introduction and spread of microbial and chemical contamination in food, and for gaining the most cost-effective actionable insight from data. RTI International has built this web-based data platform to aggregate and easily evaluate comprehensive data on food safety metrics, benchmarking, and spatial-temporal trends in U.S. establishments.

Aggregated data are visible to everyone. To access more detailed analyses, you can request a secure account at new_accounts@rti.org. If you already have an account, you can log in here.

RTI International is an independent non-profit research institute that develops and offers a full range of technical and analytical services in food safety risk analysis, including application development, data management, systems analysis, decision support tools, geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing, testing protocol optimization, statistics, modeling, public health, risk communication and behavior, and economics.

Scientists and analysts at RTI International have extensive expertise in food safety and risk analysis. Our food safety experts are on the forefront of research to leverage scarce resources and focus on the commodities, pathogens, and processes that pose the greatest food safety risks from farm to fork. Since 2007, we have worked with U.S. federal agencies and the food industry on food safety oversight and are active in risk analysis, model development, program evaluation, and economic and policy analysis.
