FSIS ensures that its rules and regulations are transparent and science based, providing opportunities for the food safety community to participate in the rule-making process. We inform and establish accountability through published regulations, notices and directives, agency initiatives, supporting research and associated industry guidelines.

Through monthly stakeholder meetings, industry roundtables, webinars, presentations at conferences, and individual establishment engagement, FSIS engages its partners in vital conversations about our food system, developing standards and about resources needed to support compliance.
