USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture responsible for ensuring the safety and proper labeling of meat, poultry, and processed egg products. They inspect facilities, enforce regulations, and set standards to prevent foodborne illness. FSIS monitors food throughout the production process, from farm to table, to ensure that what consumers purchase is safe to eat. Their work helps protect public health by ensuring that food is handled and processed safely, and that consumers receive accurate information on food labels.
