Poultry Companies Join with Consumer Groups to Demand Updated Poultry Food Safety Standards
A broad range of consumer groups and businesses are asking U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to modernize poultry safety regulation through science-based reforms.
Joining the consumer groups in penning the letter are also foodborne illness survivors, poultry industry leaders, academic scientists, and other food safety leaders. Participating companies include Tyson Foods, Perdue Farms, Butterball, and Wayne Farms, and participating groups include Centre for Science in the Public Interest, Consumer Reports, Stop Foodborne Illness, and the Consumer Federation of America.
