Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins announced new actions to reduce line speed processing burdens on meat processing facilities, allowing for greater efficiency while maintaining food safety standards. “The current patchwork approach has created significant uncertainty for companies and has put our members at a disadvantage globally, where other countries operate at faster speeds,” said National Chicken Council President Harrison Kircher. “I want to thank the administration and the Food Safety and Inspection Service for adhering to science-based principles.” The National Pork Producers Council also lauded the move. “Thank you for unleashing the potential to process pork more efficiently while also protecting food and worker safety,” said NPPC President Duane Stateler. “Greater efficiency of increased line speeds provides financial security and more stability for pork producers.” He also said that without the New Swine Inspection System program, it’s likely that U.S. pork producers could have incurred an additional loss of almost ten dollars a head.
