WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2005 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) today announced that it is accepting nominations for the 2005 Howard E. Bauman award. The award is the highest food safety honor presented by FSIS and recognizes one or more individuals who have exhibited leadership and a longstanding commitment to improving food safety and protecting public health.

The award is named for Dr. Howard E. Bauman, widely recognized for his pioneering efforts to develop the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) food safety system. HACCP is the system that is designed to minimize or eliminate the occurrence of pathogenic microorganisms on meat and poultry products. It forms the foundation of the daily inspections that are performed by FSIS program personnel at every federally inspected meat, poultry and egg products plant.

Nominees must be U.S. citizens and only one nomination per person or organization will be considered. Nominations for the Bauman Award will be reviewed by a Nomination Review Committee appointed by the Under Secretary for Food Safety and the Administrator of FSIS.

The nomination form is available at https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090305075543/http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FSISForms/4450-1.pdf (PDF Only). Send nominations to Ms. Faye Smith, Special Assistant to the Deputy Administrator, FSIS, Room 331-E, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-3700. Mailed nominations must be postmarked no later than December 5, 2005. You may also fax nominations to Ms. Smith at (202) 690-0550 or call (202) 720-7025 for additional information.
