DATE AND TIME November 3, 2022, from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. ET

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is considering a regulatory framework for a new strategy to control Salmonella in raw poultry products and more effectively reduce foodborne Salmonella infections linked to these products. This framework identifies the key elements that the Agency is currently considering as part of a new regulatory strategy. FSIS is soliciting feedback from stakeholders, both at a public meeting and in written comments submitted to the meeting docket in the Federal Register, on all of the elements of the framework before moving forward with any proposed changes to regulations or other actions.

FSIS is interested in your feedback on the three components as well as the cross-cutting issues described within the framework. Specifically, we would appreciate comments and input on the following questions:

  • What factors should FSIS consider relative to the approaches outlined in each of these components?
  • How can each component be strengthened?
  • Where are the gaps in the framework?

FSIS also welcomes relevant scientific evidence or examples of how these components may be implemented or the impacts they may have on human Salmonella illnesses.
