USDA Appoints New Members to Food Safety Advisory Committee

On April 4, 2023, USDA announced the appointment of 15 new members and five returning members to the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection (NACMPI). NACMPI advises the Secretary of Agriculture concerning state and federal programs with respect to meat and poultry inspection, food safety, and other matters that fall within the scope of the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act.

Members of the committee are chosen based on their expertise in meat and poultry safety, public health, and other FSIS policies. See the press release for the full list of NACMPI members.

NACMPI has made important contributions to a broad range of critical food safety issues. The committee reports provide FSIS with current information and advice, which serve as a foundation for regulations and programs aimed at reducing foodborne disease and enhancing public health.

FSIS will announce an upcoming committee meeting and charges when more information is available, which will be posted on the FSIS Events & Meetings page.
