FSIS, poultry industry face inspection issues

摘要

More stringent performance standards for salmonella on broiler and turkey carcasses were announced in May by the USDA. At the same time, the first Campylobacter performance standards were announced for broilers and turkeys. Dr. Dan Engeljohn, from theFood Safety and Inspection Service's policy office, presented the agency's case for tightening the salmonella performance standards at the National Turkey Federation (NTF) Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. Less-than-daily sanitation, 'for cause' food safety audits and donning and doffing compensation were other issues addressed at the meeting.
