VT Directive 5730.1 Rev. 1: RESPONSIBILITIES IN DUAL JURISDICTION ESTABLISHMENTS

This directive provides instruction to VAAFM inspection program personnel (IPP) about their roles and responsibilities regarding inspection, verification, documentation of findings, reporting and enforcement actions in establishments that operate under the jurisdiction of both VAAFM and the Vermont Department of Health (VDH) on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), (i.e., a dual jurisdiction establishment (DJE)).



Updates situations where VAAFM will share information with VDH according to the MOU.

Establishments that harvest amenable cells for cell-cultured meat and poultry food products will be under the jurisdiction of USDA FSIS

The VAAFM Meat Inspection Section is small enough that we do not need a Liaison to VDH
