Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins announced she is taking action to streamline pork and poultry processing, starting with line speeds.
Rollins says the Food Safety and Inspection Service will extend waivers, allowing pork and poultry facilities to keep line speeds higher. It is an area that USDA has studied extensively over the years and across Administrations.
She notes these studies have proven no link between processing speeds and injuries. Rollins says these moves are important to meet demand without excessive government interference. Rulemaking will start right away.
