The USDA's FSIS is proposing a new policy to reduce Salmonella contamination in raw poultry products, in response to the fact that while contamination rates have decreased, illnesses have not. The proposal would set final product standards to prevent contaminated products from entering commerce and require poultry establishments to develop a microbial monitoring program. The public comment period for this proposal will be open until October 7, 2024.

These datasets will be in a format that is easier to use and understand, and will be released on a quarterly basis.
