IFSAC Food Categorization Scheme. (A) Aquatic Animal and Land Animal Categories. (B) Oils–Sugars, Fruits, and Vegetable Categories. (C) Grains–Beans and Nuts–Seeds Categories. Green boxes show current analytical food categories, that is, categories which contain a sufficient number of outbreaks to facilitate appropriate outbreak summary analyses and correspond to the Painter et al. (2009) categories in most instances. **All levels include an “Other” category in which to place foods. Some of these “Other” categories are explicitly included in the new scheme because of their regulatory importance. IFSAC, Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration.
