Protects the food supply and public health
The Office of Animal Health and Food Safety (AHFS) ensures that meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and their products are properly identified, labeled, and inspected as well as accurately graded. This office is also responsible for regulating animal feeds manufactured and distributed in the state to ensure they are labeled according to regulations and tested to guarantee they are safe for livestock and pets.
In addition to protecting the livestock industry from theft and animal diseases through prevention, diagnosis, eradication, and other measures, AHFS also coordinates emergency response for LDAF.
