The USDA’s Office of Food Safety (OFS) and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) released “The Roadmap to Reducing Salmonella: Driving Change through Science-Based Policy,” which outlines programs and policies to reduce the pathogen in meat, poultry and egg products.
OFS and FSIS discussed the Salmonella roadmap at a virtual public meeting in September, where other participants included USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the FDA and the CDC. Stakeholders were invited to participate in the public meeting and comment on the roadmap and on the science that drives these Salmonella reduction efforts.
