VT Directive 5100.1 ENFORCEMENT, INVESTIGATIONS AND ANALYSIS OFFICER (EIAO) FOOD SAFETY ASSESSMENT (FSA) METHODOLOGY

This directive instructs Enforcement, Investigations and Analysis Officers (EIAOs) and EIAO-trained Public Health Veterinarians (PHVs) on how to conduct Food Safety Assessments (FSAs) within seven production days. This directive also provides instructions on how to document FSAs using the FSA tools in the FSA Module in the Public Health Information System (PHIS). The FSA tools are a series of questionnaires that guide the EIAO in gathering information to assess the establishment’s food safety system. FSIS is reissuing this directive to clarify instructions, add new FSA tools, and remove outdated information.
