The follow-up will consist of on-site interviews with inspection personnel and supervisors and on-site examination of records, such as PDRs and plant SSOPs. "These on-site visits are not plant reviews and they are not reviews of FSIS employees or supervisors."
FSIS plans to survey 250-300 plants nationwide. Inspection personnel and supervisors will be interviewed at all sites and record examination of SSOPs and PDRs will take place at about 50% of the plants surveyed. The site visits are tentatively scheduled to begin the week of July 21 and continue through mid-September. A final report of findings is targeted for completion by October 15.
