Interactive Knowledge Exchange (IKE) Scenarios
 Sign Up To Receive Notification By Email When IKE Scenarios Are Updated

It is important that everyone understands that the IKE, and the information in the scenarios presented, are intended for the use of all field employees. While many of our field personnel have ready access to a computer and their own mailbox, some do not have full access. We expect each Inspector in Charge (IIC) to share and discuss these scenarios with all off-line personnel. The IIC may also post these for review and discussion by on-line personnel. If questions pertaining to any of the scenarios or answers given on IKE are not resolved through discussions within the work-group or with the supervisor, they should be submitted to the following email address: IKE@fsis.usda.gov

This information should also be shared with plant management.
