FSIS Posts Draft Report for RBI Public Meeting
FSIS recently posted to its Web site a draft report entitled, Results of an Additional Expert Elicitation
on the Relative Risks of Meat and Poultry Products (PDF Only). The agency also posted an
agenda (PDF Only) for the related June 26 expert elicitation meeting.
At the meeting, FSIS officials will provide stakeholders with information concerning an expert ranking of
meat and poultry products based on their inherent risk.
The agency will review background on the most recent expert elicitation as well as the process and results.
The meeting will allow agency statisticians to offer analysis of the data and compare it to previous
elicitations. It will also give participants insight on how the information will be used in the algorithm
for determining an establishment's intensity of inspection.
This meeting is the fifth in a series of technical summits FSIS has conducted this year to address various
elements of risk-based inspection.
The meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Room 107- A of the USDA Jamie Whitten Building, 1400
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, D.C. The Whitten Building is located adjacent to the Mall exit of
the Smithsonian Station on Metro's Orange and Blue Lines. Attendees should use the building's Mall entrance,
located on Jefferson Drive.
Pre-registration is recommended. The session will be simultaneously connected to an audio conference call.
