The FSIS Food Safety and Security Guidelines for the Transportation and Distribution of Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products are designed to aid those handling food products during transportation and storage. These guidelines provide a list of safety and security measures that can be taken to prevent contamination of meat, poultry, and egg products during loading and unloading, transportation, and in-transit storage. FSIS strongly encourages shippers, receivers and transporters of these products to develop controls for ensuring the condition of the products through all phases of distribution. Such controls are necessary to protect the products from intentional, as well as unintentional, contamination. The first section of these guidelines provides food safety measures to help prevent the physical, chemical, radiological, or microbiological contamination of meat, poultry, and egg products during transportation and storage. The second section addresses security measures specifically intended to prevent the same forms of contamination due to criminal or terrorist acts. Both sections apply to all points of shipment from the processor to delivery at the retail store, restaurant, or other facility serving consumers of the products. |
