USDA FSIS Inspection Systems Produce More Competing Data
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection (FSIS) Service has been inspecting hogs for the past 25 years. The HACCP-based Inspection Model Project (HIMP), later the New Swine Inspection System (NSIS) pilot, in 2014, was produced by FSIS. The goal of NSIS was a more flexible, efficient inspection system for meat and poultry.
The HIMP and NSIS pilots and traditional inspection have produced differing sets of data.
