Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Consumer Complaint 

Monitoring System. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–0133. 

Summary of Collection: The Food 

Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has 

been delegated the authority to exercise 

the functions of the Secretary as 

provided in 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 

Product Inspection Act (EPIA) (21 

U.S.C. 1031 et seq.). These statutes 

mandate that FSIS protect the public by 

ensuring that meat and poultry products 

are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. FSIS 

tracks consumer complaints about meat, 

poultry, and egg products. Consumer 

complaints are usually filed because 

food made the consumer sick, caused an 

allergic reaction, was not properly 

labeled (misbranded). 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Consumer Complaint Monitoring 

System web portal is used primarily to 

track consumer complaints regarding 

meat, poultry, and egg products. FSIS 

will use the information collected from 

the web portal. To not collect the 

information from the web portal would 

reduce the effectiveness of the meat, 

poultry, and egg products inspection 

program. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households.

packaged. FSIS also inspects exotic 

animals and rabbits under the authority 

of the Agricultural Marketing Act of
