CSPI Comments to USDA re: Modernization of Swine Slaughter Inspection
Privatizing and deregulating swine slaughter could put consumers at increased risk of foodborne illness, according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Today the organization urged the U.S. Department of Agriculture to withdraw a proposed rule ostensibly aimed at modernizing the process, and to replace it with a new proposal that prioritizes food safety.
