Nixon Rejects Call for Separate Meat Inspection Agency
The Nixon administration rejected a task force proposal to create a Food Inspection Service within the Agriculture Department to handle meat and poultry inspection. The report urged a dedicated administrator and separation from the Consumer and Marketing Service, but Assistant Secretary Richard Lyng stated USDA will keep meat and poultry inspection within C&MS. The panel noted authority gaps and internal conflicts but said most reforms could be done without a new agency.
