Official Summaries
This bill prohibits using federal funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the proposed determination and proposed rule on Salmonella in raw poultry products. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) proposed the rule and the determination in the proposed Salmonella Framework for Raw Poultry Products that was published on August 7, 2024.
The FSIS's proposed determination declares raw chicken carcasses, chicken parts, ground chicken, and ground turkey products that contain certain types and levels of Salmonella as adulterated, thus prohibiting these products from entering commerce.
The FSIS's proposed rule would revise the current regulations on how poultry slaughter establishments monitor and document microbial contamination throughout the slaughter and dressing operation. This includes new requirements for microbial monitoring programs, increased sampling and testing, and additional recordkeeping.
