The Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) is a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsible for ensuring the safety and quality of meat, poultry, and egg products. FSIS conducts inspections at processing plants to verify that food products meet federal safety standards. Their goal is to prevent foodborne illnesses and protect public health. In addition to inspections, the FSIS also provides education and resources to consumers and food industry professionals. They offer guidelines on safe food handling, cooking temperatures, and storage practices. By promoting food safety, the FSIS helps ensure that the food supply remains safe for everyone.
