USDA Amends Regulations to Include Yak and Other Bovidae, Cervidae, and Camelidae Species in Voluntary Inspection Program

Summary

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is updating its rules to include yak and other species from the Bovidae, Cervidae, and Camelidae families in a voluntary inspection program, following a 2015 petition from a yak industry association and in response to comments on the inspection of farmed-raised species in these families.
