Dr. Stephanie Brown is housed at the SWFREC and facilitates extension programming around the state of Florida in the areas of food safety, food regulations, and food entrepreneurship.
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) changed the way that food businesses throughout the United States approach food safety by shifting the focus from a reactive to proactive approach. Many other federal and state food regulations can also present challenges for Florida food businesses. To support Florida’s food system, Dr. Brown helps develop, implement, and evaluate extension programs that help Florida’s food processors, cottage food operators, and other food entrepreneurs comply with food safety requirements and regulations and build and maintain successful food businesses.
