Creating a Food Safety Consortium: A Multi-State Effort to Support Customers, Home-based Businesses and Retailers Fellow: Ben Chapman, North Carolina State University Team Work Plan Fellow Report: During the current reporting period, the team has met frequently to define specific goals for the upcoming year to make progress in both consortium/network formation as well as to support progress in the topic area.
