SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Food Safety and Inspection 

Service (FSIS) administers a regulatory 

program under the Federal Meat 

Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et 

seq.), the Poultry Products Inspection 

Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.), and 

the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) 

(21 U.S.C. 1031 et seq.) to protect the 

health and welfare of consumers. The 

Agency is responsible for ensuring that 

the nation’s commercial supply of meat, 

poultry, and egg products is safe, 

wholesome, not adulterated, and 

correctly labeled and packaged. 

FSIS inspects these products at 

official slaughtering and processing 

establishments, verifying that the 

establishments meet regulatory 

requirements and enforcing those 

requirements as necessary. 

Additionally, FSIS employees 

(inspectors, veterinarians, laboratorians, 

and Enforcement, Investigations, and 

Analysis Officers (EIAOs)) perform a 

variety of activities, including 

conducting inspections, ensuring 

compliance with existing regulations, 

and collecting and testing 

microbiological and chemical residue 

samples to verify whether 

establishments maintain Hazard 

Analysis and Critical Control Point 

(HACCP) or other food safety systems 

that address these hazards. While 

conducting these activities and 

performing many other key functions, 

FSIS collects a large volume of 

establishment-specific data on 

pathogens and residues. For example, 

FSIS collects data on regulated, 

domestic slaughter and processing 

establishments and on product imported 

from foreign countries with inspection 

systems equivalent to that of the United 

States. 

FSIS produces reports using this data 

for internal use, as well as reports and 

data shared publicly through the 

Agency’s Web site 1 and other public 

communication venues. FSIS aggregates 

most of the data it shares with the
