Improving Sanitation And Federal

Inspection At Slaughter Plants: How To Get

Better Results For The Inspection Dollar


The Department of Agriculture's Food Safety
and Inspection Service inspects federally ap-
proved meat and poultry slaughter plants to
see that they are sanitary and that they pro-
duce wholesome, unadulterated    products.
GAO made surprise visits to 62 randomly
selected plants in six States to test the effec-
tiveness of the inspection program.

Service supervisors accompanying GAO rated
26 percent of the 62 plants--27 percent of the
meat plants and 24 percent of the poultry
plants-.as unacceptable in one or more of six
basic program requirements and noted numer-
ous deficiencies not severe enough to warrant
Unacceptable ratings.

GAO  makes several recommendations to
strengthen enforcement of inspection program
requirements, assure that plant managers carry
out their responsibility to operate and main-
tain sanitary plants, and help ensure the most
efficient use of Federal inspection resources.
