U.S. meat and poultry products are among the safest in the world.   U.S. meat and poultry safety results from the combined efforts of meat and poultry processors and the federal government, which inspects meat and poultry plants and products every day.  No other businesses have the level of oversight that are just a ‘normal day’ in U.S. meat and poultry plants.  Because meat and poultry products are perishable, food preparers have an important role to play in ensuring that food is safe when served.  This Web site is dedicated to empowering meat and poultry consumers everywhere with accurate, understandable information.
