WASHINGTON — The Food Safety and Inspection Service will hold a public meeting Aug. 7 to discuss public health based inspection in slaughter plants.
To meet the realities of food safety and public health challenges, FSIS intends to enhance its inspection system and to implement new, science-based policies. FSIS is considering proposing a new inspection system in slaughter establishments that will improve public health.
Although rulemaking is not expected immediately, FSIS is seeking public input on the ideas, concepts, data, and analyses that it will use to form the basis for a technical plan and, in turn, to inform the rulemaking process.
The meeting will be held Tuesday, Aug. 7, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at George Mason University, School of Public Policy, Arlington Original Building, Room 244, 3401 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22201.
