The members of the Safe Food Coalition and the Worker Health and Safety Coalition write in opposition to budget reductions for USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) which would reduce funding for federal meat and poultry inspection. They urge the House and Senate Committees on FSIS budget reductions to remove language inserted into the report and adopted by the House Appropriations Committee which urges the U.S. Department of Agriculture to move forward with its proposal to substantially change the poultry inspection program.
