Following comments from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) in regards to Chinese poultry products being imported into the United States, the FSIS has released the following statement:
“USDA has not found China's poultry slaughter system to be equivalent and therefore poultry slaughtered in China is not allowed to be imported to the United States. The U.S. food supply is among the safest in the world, and the Food Safety Inspection Service is dedicated to maintaining that status.”
