FSIS Considers New Standards for Broilers

In a presentation entitled Public Health-Related Performance Standards Currently Under Consideration for Young Chicken, Dr Michele Catlin, Director of the Data Analysis and Integration Group, explained the new performance standards currently under consideration for broilers.

FSIS is considering proposing a number of performance standards directly or indirectly related to public health covering:

• salmonella
• campylobacter
• zero tolerance for faecal contamination
• septicaemic and toxaemic animal diseases and
• generic E. coli.

In addition, Dr Catlin said that FSIS is considering other consumer protection performance standards (not focus of this presentation) on standards of identity and non-septicaemic/non-toxaemic animal disease.
