Consumer Federation of America and the Center for Foodborne Illness Research & Prevention comment on the notice from the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on the Salmonella Verification Sampling Program: Analysis of Raw Beef for Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli and Salmonella. CFA and CFI support FSIS’ intention to begin analyzing for Salmonella all samples of raw ground beef, beef manufacturing trimmings, bench trim and other raw ground beef components that the agency collects for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli analysis.
