Description

Felicia Nestor & Patty Lovera. Examines the integrity & reliability of the Dept. of Agriculture’s (USDA) Salmonella testing program. These microbial tests are the cornerstone of its program to modernize food safety & transform meat & poultry inspection into a public health program. Microbial testing also serves as the policy rationale for reducing government visual inspection in slaughter & processing plants. Based on an exhaustive, 5-month review of USDA’s own records, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, this report concludes that there is no factual basis from the testing program for USDA’s reassurances that the food supply has become safer for consumers of ground beef. Charts & tables.
