The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), a public health regulatory agency of the U.S.

Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act, FSIS inspects all meat, poultry, and egg products sold in interstate commerce to ensure that they meet U.S. food safety standards. More than 7,600 inspection personnel verify that regulations regarding food safety and other consumer protection concerns are met in nearly 6500 meat, poultry, and egg processing plants. In slaughter plants, inspection involves examining, before and after slaughter, birds and animals intended for use as food.
