The American Association of Meat Processors, along with others in the industry, are making great progress in our work with FSIS to come up alternatives better suited to help small processors meet the regulatory requirements.
I want to update you on the progress of some of the regulatory matters that Nelson, AAMP's outreach specialist, and I have been working on. We just received the final version of the Foreign Materials Best Practices paper that has been a work in progress for a few years now.
This delay now gives us time to continue conversations with FSIS about the validity of the Revised Documents and hopefully get some changes made to it.
As I listen to plant owners talk about the issues they have had in this area and I read the humane handling incidents information provided by FSIS, I have noticed a recurring theme in plants that have had multiple issues with mis-stuns.
AAMP Executive Director Chris Young was in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, February 20th to meet with FSIS Acting administrator Paul Kiecker and members of his policy staff.
AAMP representatives traveled to Washington as an organization, not part of other industry meetings, and sat down with the leadership of FSIS for face-to-face talks on issues that are important to our members.
I am writing to you today to tell you how excited I am about the new partnership between BNP Media, Independent Processor Magazine and The American Association of Meat Processors (AAMP).
