Docstoc is a document sharing website. The RFSC is using it to facilitate uploading, storage, and searching of its documents. We have created a collection of RFSC docs located here. Docstoc permits MS Word, TXT, PPT, and PDF files. All of the files we upload are either open source (government) or Copyleft (share and share alike).

Ever complain about not having the model food code handy to check on something? Check out http://www.foodcode.mobi for a version of the 2005 model food code that should be easy to read on a mobile phone or PDA web browser. Since it's in HTML it's searchable unlike the PDF versions online from FDA-CFSAN.
This blog was created to highlight documents that have been shared. In most cases, sharing means permitting use and re-use of your documents. The ability to edit or extract information makes document sharing exceptionally valuable to food safety professionals.
We use the copyleft or "share and share alike" document rights management. Submitters of documents grant the copyleft designation and users can download documents and use them at will for all not-for-profit uses.
All government documents are open source and can be used in any manner.
The U.S. retail food industry (grocery, restaurants, etc.) includes over 1,500,000 establishments. Shrinking budgets, international trade, new technologies, emerging pathogens, and changing consumer habits place unprecedented demands on retail food safety professionals. The Retail Food Safety Consortium, through networking, information sharing, and strategic planning of activities, has great potential to enhance the ability of food safety professionals to work more effectively with the retail food industry.
