Food Safety

Food safety is the pork industry's number one priority and federal and state meat inspection systems are a key part of ensuring safe food. The U.S. pork industry is among the most regulated industries in the nation. Beyond food safety inspections required by the U.S. government, the industry is working hard to research and implement food safety technologies above and beyond regulatory requirements. In addition, staying well-informed about food safety through educational programs is an important ingredient in the industry's success. By capturing new technologies and sound scientific practices, the pork industry benefits by selling the safest products possible.
