Protesting government meat inspectors, including some dressed in chicken suits, picketed Department of Agriculture headquarters in Washington in early April to focus attention on a shift in USDA poultry inspection regulations.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) says a shift in the way poultry inspections are carried out will save money for the industry and government while improving food safety.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) is applauding the recent signing of the “Beyond The Border” initiative, a trade agreement between the US and Canada.
Designed for dry-filled pre-made and FFS pouches, stick packs, sachets and flexible packaging, the PTI VeriPac 425/LP automatic online inspection system includes vacuum decay leak testing technology that provides non-destructive package testing and reliable leak detection as small as 10 microns.
