Food Safety Certification Practice Test

The FDA, or the Food and Drug Administration, plays a significant role in regulating food safety, including the requirements for food equipment. They are involved in the evaluation of food equipment design and construction to ensure it meets safety and sanitary standards necessary for public health.

In contrast, the organizations listed that do not focus primarily on evaluating food equipment design and construction include the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), which is primarily concerned with disease control and prevention rather than direct regulation of food facilities and equipment. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) oversees the safety of meat and poultry products, but its focus does not primarily include evaluating food equipment design across the broader food industry. Lastly, the WHO (World Health Organization) is involved in public health issues on a global scale but does not direct the design or construction of food equipment.

Therefore, the FDA is indeed the correct organization involved in this process, while the others have different focuses that do not include evaluating the design and construction of food equipment.
