History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2010-11. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food Safety Program | This program | 2010-11 – 2017-18 | $2.87B |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
