In 2016, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) began assessing whether establishments are meeting the Salmonella performance standards for raw poultry carcasses, chicken parts and not-ready-to-eat comminuted poultry products. On June 22, 2018, FSIS issued Notice 32-18, Actions To Take in Raw Poultry Establishments Exceeding Salmonella Performance Standards, instructing FSIS personnel on what actions to take at establishments that are exceeding Salmonella performance standards and are thus in Category 3.
