some recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea for the task force emerged from a 2019 regional workshop in Suriname, where senior food regulators emphasized the need for a structured approach to food safety management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They recommended a permanent body to facilitate collaboration, share best practices, and streamline regulatory frameworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This led to the formation of the CTFS, which was later endorsed by CARICOM\u2019s Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating under the guidance of the Caribbean Agricultural Health and Food Safety Agency (CAHFSA), the CTFS plays a key role in shaping food safety policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its mandate includes advising on priority areas for intervention, recommending legislative updates, and identifying emerging food safety risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The task force also supports investment in food safety infrastructure, training programs, and laboratory testing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond policymaking, the CTFS acts as a central hub for coordinating responses to food safety incidents, such as contamination outbreaks or regulatory alerts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By working closely with national food safety authorities and international partners, it ensures timely action and effective risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAHFSA provides administrative and logistical support to the CTFS, facilitating its operations and ensuring alignment with regional goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Specialized working groups within the task force tackle specific projects, such as developing food safety guidelines and conducting risk assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the CTFS in place, the Caribbean is moving toward a more cohesive and resilient food safety system, reducing trade barriers while protecting consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> By fostering regional cooperation and aligning food safety regulations, the task force helps position CARICOM as a stronger player in the global food trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
