On Oct. 22, AAMP and the Illinois Association of Meat Processors hosted a roundtable discussion in Rockford, Illinois along with three FSIS staff members from Washington, D.C.
As my travels have slowed I am able to focus on the important issues that need addressed with the various agencies that oversee the work of our members.
The fall is often one of the busiest times of the year for wild game processors. Many are not only processing wild game, but also preparing for the hectic rush of the holiday season that is not far behind.
Last month, I spent the day in Washington, D.C. with other industry associations and the scientific working groups that we have put together to work on Appendix A & B issues.
AAMP has had a number of industry partners here in the U.S. that it works very closely with on matters of importance to our members, and this work serves to strengthen the meat industry here in America.
Here are some of the latest updates taking place from the regulatory and legislative arenas. AAMP continues to ensure that the voice of the small processor is heard in Washington.
It is hard to believe that 2018 is behind us, and 2019 is here in all its glory. AAMP membership saw growth again for the fourth year in a row. Our association also saw a lot of expansions in our efforts on behalf of the members.
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.
