Directory of FDA Retail Food Specialists

The National Retail Food Team is made up of multiple groups within the Food and Drug Administration. The headquarters component includes CFSAN(1), OTED(2), and OP(3). The field component is made up of FDA Retail Food Specialists (Specialists) from the Office of State Cooperative Programs (OSCP). The Specialists are located throughout the United States and are assigned to one of the three OSCP Branches. The Specialists work with their assigned state, local, tribal, and territorial regulatory agencies on a daily basis to provide technical assistance.

This document provides contact information for each FDA Retail Food Specialist. If you are unsure who your assigned Specialist is, please find your state below, and then use the table of contents to navigate to the appropriate contact list.
