Does FSIS approve of MicroTally® sampling for food products?

USDA/FSIS has issued a Letter of No Objection covering:

  • Beef trim pathogen and indicator organism sampling via MSD™ and CSD™ sampling
  • Poultry pathogen and indicator organism sampling using the MicroTally® Mitt

In addition, USDA/FSIS recently named “Polyolefin Cloth” sampling as their official pathogen sampling method for their in-plant inspectors.
