To best meet INFOSAN's goals of disseminating food safety information to various stakeholders in the food chain continuum and improving national and international collaboration, several partnerships with other networks, initiatives, and agencies have been established. These partnerships enable the efficient exchange of information during international food contamination and foodborne disease events of international concern. Examples include: WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN); PulseNet International; African Union Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR; European Commission's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF); European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) Emerging Risks Exchange Network (EREN); European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
