0583-AD59 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0583 Food Safety and Inspection Service FSIS 0500 Department of Agriculture USDA Elimination of Trichina Control Regulations and Consolidation of Thermally Processed, Commercially Sterile Regulations

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) proposed to amend the Federal meat inspection regulations to eliminate the requirements for both ready-to-eat (RTE) and not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) pork and pork products to be treated to destroy trichina (Trichinella spiralis) because the regulations are inconsistent with the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations, and these prescriptive regulations are no longer necessary.
