Microbiology

Results of baseline data studies, E. coli O157:H7 testing , ready-to-eat product sampling, and Salmonella verification testing are reported here. FSIS's Office of Public Health Science (OPHS) uses the latest scientifically-based microbiological approaches to detect, understand, and prevent foodborne hazards.

Chemistry

FSIS provides information on the National Residue Program, residue policy issuances, Residue Repeat Violator Lists, and studies to determine presence of contaminants such as dioxin.

FSIS Data Analysis and Reporting

To ensure that FSIS maintains a science-based and data-driven approach to food safety, the Agency conducts a robust analysis of available data. These analyses range from evaluations of FSIS policy to strategic planning efforts.

Pathology Projects

Special projects completed by FSIS' pathology laboratories, such as beef AMR testing data.

Animal Disposition Reporting System

The Animal Disposition Reporting System (ADRS) contains slaughter totals and disposition summaries for federally inspected livestock and poultry slaughter establishments.

FoodNet 

FoodNet is a collaborative project among FSIS, CDC, and FDA to identify, control, and prevent foodborne disease hazards. FoodNet uses sentinel sites in various states to provide more stable and accurate national estimates of the burden and sources of specific foodborne diseases.
