Baseline Data

Baseline Data

FSIS collects samples of meat and poultry products to estimate the national prevalence and levels of bacteria of public health concern. Each report is a compilation of data obtained for a particular species or type of animal.

Draft Baseline Study Plans
Beginning with the Young Chicken Baseline Study in 2006, FSIS will make draft study plans available for review before the official baseline sample collection begins. If concerns are raised, FSIS will assess those concerns before moving forward with the study.
