Agency strengthens customer service for accessing data
December 3, 2018
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has released the Annual Sampling Program Plan and Residue Sampling Plans for fiscal year 2019 and its first 2018 Annual Catalog of FSIS Sampling Projects.
On Feb. 1, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS or agency) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule that outlines the intent of the agency to modernize swine slaughter inspection.
FSIS' assertion it has the authority to take photographs at regulated establishments is nothing new. But the recent revision has caused many establishments to again question whether the agency truly has the authority to take photographs and what actions can be taken when there is a demand to take them.
