Generic E. coli Testing for Sheep, Goats, Equine, Ducks, Geese and Guineas
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to require establishments slaughtering sheep, goats, horses, mules, and other equines, and establishments slaughtering ducks, geese, and guineas to sample and test carcasses for generic E. coli. This proposal extends the sampling and testing requirements already applied to establishments that slaughter cattle, swine, chickens, and turkeys. Regular microbial testing by slaughter establishments is necessary to verify the adequacy of the establishment's process controls for the prevention and removal of fecal contamination and associated bacteria.
