Summary
The federal government is withdrawing a proposed rule that would have set safety standards for Salmonella bacteria in raw chicken and turkey products. This withdrawal means there will be no new federal requirements for poultry producers to reduce Salmonella contamination in raw poultry at this time.
Key Points
- 1The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is canceling a proposed rule that would have established limits on Salmonella in raw poultry products like chicken breasts and ground turkey
- 2Without this rule, poultry producers will not face new federal requirements to test for or reduce Salmonella in raw poultry products
- 3Consumers should continue following existing food safety practices, such as cooking poultry to proper temperatures and avoiding cross-contamination in the kitchen
- 4This withdrawal affects poultry manufacturers and producers who would have had to implement new safety measures and testing procedures
- 5The decision means existing Salmonella regulations for poultry remain unchanged, with standards continuing to apply only to ready-to-eat poultry products
Impact Assessment
If you are a poultry producer, this means you will not face new federal requirements to reduce Salmonella contamination in raw chicken and turkey products at this time.
