Poultry inspection
Poultry inspection is a process government food safety authorities use to ensure chicken and other bird products are safe to eat. Inspectors check raw and processed poultry for signs of contamination, disease, or inferior quality. This includes examining the birds during processing for cleanliness, proper handling, and absence of harmful bacteria such as Salmonella. The goal is to prevent contaminated products from reaching consumers, ensuring public health and quality standards are maintained throughout production and packaging.
