The VT Agency of Agriculture Food and Markets (VAAFM) has statues and policies in place to ensure that all actions are supportable and properly documented. VAAFM has differing roles and responsibilities versus the defined roles in USDA FSIS.
The purpose of this directive is to explain the system and procedures used in the Meat Inspection Office for documenting and maintaining case files supporting administrative enforcement and other actions taken under the authority of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA), Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), and VT State Statutes and regulations. The VT Meat inspection program maintains electronic case files on the VAAFM server. VAAFM does not Inspect egg products. In this directive, the term Enforcement, Investigations, and Analysis Officer (EIAO) also means EIAO trained Public Health Veterinarians (PHV). The term District Veterinary Medical Specialist (DVMS) also includes DVMS-trained PHVs.
