Mission

History

The Missouri Milk, Food, and Environmental Health Association (MMFEHA) is a unified professional organization dedicated to encourage and promote cooperation, good fellowship, intellectual and educational exchange; encourage the development of new technology; improve the sanitary quality of milk, food, institutional and environmental conditions; promote the public recognition of environmental professionals; and most importantly, to obtain the highest standard of health for every resident in the State of Missouri.

MMFEHA was founded in 1932 and was then known as the Missouri Association of Milk and Food Sanitarians. The name has changed several times, but the purpose of the association has not. Significantly, MMFEHA is the state affiliate of both the National Environmental Health Association (NEHA) and the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP).
