The hot topic of the day is the new swine inspection rule. There appears to be a lot of fake news being tossed around, at the very least a lot of information about how this is going to affect industry and how the consumer is being left out.
So, is this good for public health? The answer is a yes! While the inspectors’ union and others say that FSIS is leaving inspection up to the plants, this just simply isn’t true. Several years ago, I participated in several audits that compared the new system to the old.
