USDA Poultry Programs

USDA Poultry Programs are government initiatives that help ensure the safety, quality, and proper labeling of poultry products like chicken and turkey. They set standards for raising, processing, and inspecting poultry to protect consumers from health risks and mislabeling. These programs include regular inspections, certifications, and compliance requirements for producers and processors. The goal is to maintain a high level of food safety, promote fair trade practices, and support the poultry industry’s integrity and transparency. Overall, the programs help consumers trust that poultry products are safe, accurately described, and produced under regulated conditions.
