For many years the USDA: Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) has had a website on the Internet. At one point in time the website had gotten very large and was difficult to navigate. However, over the last few years FSIS has worked very diligently to improve their website. Today it is an excellent source of information for consumers, educators, scientists, researchers, small/very small plants, businesses, partners, constituent groups and FSIS employees. It literally has something for everyone. However, of all these groups perhaps the one group that can benefit the most is small and very small plants.
When you go to the home page you will find several areas listed in a banner across the top. Three areas on the banner of particular interest to small and very small processors are; Home Page, News & Events and Fact Sheets.
