Acknowledgments

This publication was made possible by a financial grant from the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) Research Foundation, Washington, D.C., through funds made available from the United States Food and Drug Administration. 

As with any publication of this size and breadth, many hands go into the making of the final product. Jake Looney, Wylie Davis Distinguished Professor of Law and John D. Copeland, former Director of the National Center for Agricultural Law Research and Information both contributed substantial effort in completion of the project. Special thanks and credit must also go to Amy White, Brett Offutt, Diane L. Thue-Vasquez, M. Gayle Packer, Monica Armster, David Tyler and Anita Poole, who are primarily responsible for the excellent summaries of state food safety statutes. Dr. Fred Fox worked long hours on the project's drafting and preparation for publication, patiently enduring numerous changes before final publication. Anita Poole and David Tyler were invaluable in the final editing of the publication.
