For use beginning 3/1/2020
This directive provides inspection program personnel (IPP) with the current method for protecting public health by verifying, documenting, and enforcing the requirement that there be no visible fecal material, milk, or ingesta on livestock carcasses at or immediately after the final rail, and for verifying that feces, ingesta, and milk are not present on head, cheek, and weasand meat at packing. In this revision, FSIS increased the livestock carcass sample size in Attachment 1. This change will help the Agency better analyze data from establishments that operate under traditional inspection and the New Swine Slaughter Inspection System (NSIS).
