The Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) is a nonprofit organization based in York, Pennsylvania, founded in 1896. It focuses on promoting public health by ensuring uniformity in how science-based laws and regulations governing food, drugs, medical products, cosmetics, and product safety are adopted and enforced. The organization serves regulatory officials by providing training, credentialing programs, and collaborative resources that support consistent practices across jurisdictions. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit, AFDO coordinates these efforts to strengthen regulatory effectiveness and public safety.

Its work targets state and local regulatory bodies, along with other stakeholders involved in food and drug safety, aiming to reduce regulatory variability and improve enforcement outcomes. A recent development includes a collaboration with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture to develop a training program that strengthens aseptic sampling skills among state Produce Safety inspectors.
