Abstract
FSIS is making technical corrections and amendments to the final rule, ``Pathogen Reduction; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Systems,'' published on July 25, 1996. This document responds to technical and scientific questions raised in the final rule regarding E. coli testing and to issues discussed at the ``Technical Conference Regarding E. coli Verification Testing,'' the ``Pathogen Reduction/HACCP National Implementation Conference,'' and the ``Regional Implementation Conferences.'' Also, this document clarifies ambiguities brought to FSIS' attention and provides guidance on various technical issues. Additionally, this document corrects inadvertent omissions and addresses minor editorial oversights.
