Inspection of State Livestock Programs Underway

New methodologies and guidelines for reviews.

Compiled by staff

Published: Feb 18, 2009

The Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a directive that gives staff involved in performing comprehensive reviews of State Cooperative Meat or Poultry Inspection programs the methodology and guiding principles for use in these reviews. FSIS says the purpose of these reviews is to determine whether a State has developed and is maintaining a meat or poultry inspection program that imposes requirements that are at least equal to those imposed by FSIS under Federal Regulations.

The Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act provides for FSIS to cooperate with State agencies in developing and administering State programs. Also, it is the state's responsibility to ensure that livestock are treated humanely by imposing humane handling requirements that are at least equal to Federal Regulations.
