USDA Announces Public Meeting on Salmonella: State of the Science

August 21, 2020

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s Office of Food Safety (OFS) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) are hosting a virtual public meeting on Salmonella with participation from the Agricultural Research Service, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. FSIS will discuss the agency's commitment to reduce pathogen contamination by leading with science, building relationships, and influencing behavior change to decrease Salmonella infections associated with FSIS-regulated products and save lives.

The virtual public meeting will be held on September 22, 2020, from 9:00 am to 3:15 pm Eastern.

The week prior to the public meeting, OFS will release the “Roadmap to Reducing Salmonella: Driving Change through Science-Based Policy,” which outlines how OFS and FSIS will advance programs and policies that are science-based, data-driven, and promote innovation to reduce Salmonella in meat, poultry, and egg products.

Salmonella is an important foodborne pathogen of concern in multiple FSIS-regulated food products. To address foodborne sources of Salmonella, FSIS is committed to aggressively targeting Salmonella in regulated meat, poultry, and processed egg products through various strategies and initiatives. The public meeting is part of FSIS' efforts to be transparent and share data with stakeholders, including regulated establishments, other government agencies, industry groups, and the public.

FSIS is seeking comments on the Salmonella initiatives addressed at the public meeting. Industry, interested individuals, organizations, and other stakeholders are invited to participate in the public meeting and to comment on the Roadmap data and science that drive FSIS' Salmonella reduction efforts. Interested parties should submit comments on or before September 25, 2020 at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Additional details about the virtual meeting:

  • Questions must be submitted by September 10, 2020 to FRN@usda.gov.
  • Stakeholders will have an opportunity to provide oral comments during the public meeting. Stakeholders must notify FSIS during registration of their wish to speak at the meeting.
  • The meeting is virtual and will be viewed via the Webex link provided by email when you register for the meeting.
  • There is no fee to register for the public meeting, but pre-registration is mandatory for participants attending.
  • All attendees must register online here.
