Abstract
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is revising its regulatory requirements concerning sanitation in official meat and poultry establishments. Specifically, FSIS is consolidating the sanitation regulations into a single part applicable to both official meat and poultry establishments, eliminating unnecessary differences between the sanitation requirements for meat and poultry processing, and converting many of the highly prescriptive sanitation requirements to performance standards.
