WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has launched askFSIS, a new Web-based feature designed to help answer technical and policy questions regarding inspection and public health regulations 24 hours a day.
The new interactive feature will provide answers on technical issues in more depth than the standard list of "frequently asked questions" currently available through FSIS' Web site. It will allow visitors to seek answers on topics such as exporting, labeling and inspection-related policies, programs and procedures. Users also can register to be notified when answers are updated.

"This new web-based tool will be especially helpful for owners and operators of small and very small plants and is another example of how FSIS is finding new and innovative ways to meet the needs of its customers," said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Richard Raymond in a release.
