UNITED STATES: A U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) official is speaking about Risk Based Inspection of Meat and Poultry Products.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Under Secretary for Food Safety, Dr. Richard Raymond, has issued a statement on a report called “Stakeholder Input Regarding Risk Based Inspection of Meat and Poultry Products.”
Dr. Raymond says in the statement that, "USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) appreciates the effort of resolve in facilitating the stakeholder input process, a critical element toward enabling FSIS to better protect public health by implementing a more robust risk-based inspection system.
The statement goes on to say, "As the report makes clear, all stakeholders support the goal of improving food safety inspection by more effectively targeting inspection resources at those establishments, based on what they produce and how well they control hazards, that are more likely to negatively impact public health. For the first time, inspectors will be armed with an objective, data-driven representation of establishment performance and product risk to guide their inspection decisions.”
Raymond calls the enhanced risk-based inspection system a “natural evolution” of FSIS procedures from the past decade and says, "The process of developing the next phase of a more robust risk-based inspection system will continue to be open, transparent, inclusive and deliberative.”
