The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is expanding its resources for small plants by launching a virtual representative that provides continual access to information. This new tool will allow users to receive up-to-date information on frequently asked questions and communicate directly with technical experts from FSIS' Small Plant Help Desk.
The Virtual Representative for small plants is another way FSIS is developing new and innovative ways to meet the needs of its customers. The Small Plant Help Desk is a mission-critical tool for FSIS to help owners and operators enhance their food safety practices and strengthen public health protection.
