FSIS Safety and Security Guidelines

In May 2002, FSIS issued the FSIS Security Guidelines for Food Processors to assist Federal- and State-inspected meat, poultry, and egg product plants in identifying ways to strengthen their food security protection. At the time we noted our commitment to providing continued guidance to businesses engaged in the production and distribution of USDA-regulated foods. We have worked with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other agencies to now provide guidance for those handling food products during transportation and storage.
