New FSIS Food Defense Risk Mitigation Tool Now Online

FSIS recently conducted vulnerability assessments with industry representatives. A suggestion was made to develop a searchable, user-friendly tool to facilitate the identification and selection of applicable mitigation strategies or countermeasures. To serve this need, FSIS’ Office of Data Integration and Food Protection developed a Food Defense Risk Mitigation Tool, an online resource for plant owners and operators. Food processors interested in accessing this online tool can visit www.fsis.usda.gov/Food_Defense_&_Emergency_Response/index.asp.
