Food safety and security is
an important aspect of the USDA nutrition assistance programs and the
Food and Nutrition Service's (FNS) Food Safety Unit coordinates food
safety and security efforts for all Food Distribution Programs.
This unit works closely with the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
which is the public health agency in the U.S. Department of
Agriculture responsible for ensuring that the nation's commercial supply
of meat, poultry, and egg products is safe, wholesome, and correctly
labeled and packaged, as required by the Federal Meat Inspection Act,
the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection
Act.
