Background


RATIONALE
The DOST VII and DOST XI Food Safety Teams were organized to support the food processing projects in Central Visayas and Southern Mindanao under the Small Enterprises Technology Upgrading Program (SET-UP), an umbrella program which rationalizes and links all DOST services to address the technological needs of small and medium enterprises with the concerted efforts of DOST regional offices, Research and Development Institutes, Councils and other Institutes of the Department. With the advent of globalization and stricter regulations on the trade of foods, the conduct of intensive food safety trainings for staff and personnel of food establishments has become more important. The Food Safety Teams of DOST VII and XI are expected to play an important role in imparting and disseminating information on food safety regulations and requirements to food handlers for the continuing improvement and production of safe, healthy and unadulterated foods for both local and export markets. 
 
VISION
The DOST XI Food Safety Team is a credible, competent and relentless champion of food safety leading food processing and food service enterprises and the general public towards greater awareness and vigilance on food safety. 

MISSION
The DOST XI Food Safety Team will spearhead the development of a food safety culture through technical trainings, consultancy, and other services, in aid of industrial development and to foster public safety and health.
