Food Safety
Food safety and security are important aspects of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Nutrition Assistance Programs and the Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) Food Safety Unit. These two organizations coordinate food safety and security efforts for all Food Distribution Programs.
This unit works closely with the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) which is the public health agency in the U.S. Department of Agriculture responsible for ensuring the nation's commercial supply of meat, poultry, and egg products is safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged as required by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act.
On the USDA website, you will find a great deal of food safety resources and a list of all holds and recalls of food products.
