The food safety and inspection processes in the United States are primarily overseen by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), along with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), which regulates food products.

• the CDC
While the SBA (Small Business Administration) and the NSLP (National School Lunch Program) are important for other reasons, they do not specifically focus on ensuring the safety of food preparation in grocery stores.
