Availability of Guidance:

Food Safety and Inspection
Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing
the availability of final guidance for
federally inspected establishments in
the selection of commercial and private
microbiological testing laboratories.
FSIS has posted this policy guidance on
its Web page https://www.fsis.usda.gov/

SUMMARY:

compliance/compliance-guides-index.
FSIS encourages establishments that
prepare meat, poultry, or processed egg
products to consider the criteria in the
guidance in selecting commercial or
private microbiological testing
laboratories and in determining the
laboratories’ capability to produce
accurate and reliable results. Regulated
establishments are required to introduce
into commerce only meat, poultry, or
processed egg products that are safe and
not adulterated or misbranded.
Establishments that select laboratories
that do not apply appropriate testing
methods or maintain effective Quality
Control or Quality Assurance (QC/QA)
practices may not receive reliable or
useful test results and thus run the risk
of not being aware that the food that
they have produced is unsafe.
DATES: The guidance is effective August
26, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In a Federal Register notice published
March 8, 2012 (77 FR 13999), FSIS
made available its ‘‘Establishment
Guidance for the Selection of a
Commercial or Private Microbiological
Testing Laboratory’’ and requested
comment on it. As FSIS explained in the
2012 Federal Register notice, this
guidance document provides
establishments that prepare meat,
poultry, and processed egg products
with criteria for selecting a commercial
or private laboratory to analyze their
samples. Regulated establishments are
ultimately responsible for the testing
methods and practices that the
laboratory employs on the
establishments’ behalf.
An FSIS-regulated establishment may
perform microbiological testing for
various reasons, including, but not
limited to: Fulfilling regulatory
requirements; performing on-going
verification of the establishment’s
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Point (HACCP) plan; supporting
decisions made in the establishment’s
hazard analysis; evaluating the
effectiveness of the establishment’s
sanitation program; and complying with
purchase specifications or requirements.
