In the original published rule, FSIS made some inadvertent errors in the amended regulatory text and in corresponding preamble references. One of the errors mistakenly removed the zero tolerance regulation, which prevents poultry with fecal contamination from entering the chiller. With the correction, the zero tolerance regulation remains in effect.

In addition to the corrections, FSIS has added language ensuring that the provisions governing the re-use of ice and water used for chilling are consistent with the sanitation regulations for meat and poultry establishments.
