In a strategy to improve poultry and meat safety, USDA unveils a new initiative aimed at combating foodborne illness. Brooke L. Rollins, U.S. agriculture secretary, provided the details during the USDA’s recent opening of its new Midwestern Food Safety Laboratory in Missouri.
“When it comes to food safety, USDA is charting a bold new course in giving consumers confidence their meat, poultry, and egg products our best-in-class food safety standards,” Rollins said. “I look forward to continued collaboration across the Trump administration, with states, and with food producers from farm to table, to reduce foodborne illness and protect public health.”
