US Food Safety Service Proposes Honduras for Poultry Export Eligibility

Summary

The US Food Safety Service (FSIS) is proposing to add Honduras to the list of countries eligible to export raw poultry products to the United States, following a review of Honduras' laws, regulations, and inspection system, which found it to be equivalent to the US system under the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA). Honduras would need to submit additional records and undergo an audit if it expresses interest in exporting processed poultry products.
