HACCP System Promises Safer Meat Processing Nationwide
Glickman touts HACCP as a revolution in meat and poultry safety with 312 plants first to implement, later expanding to 6,100 more. The plan shifts from inspection after problems to prevention, requiring plants to design own HACCP plans while meeting standards. Critics warn about reliance on company tests and potential whistleblower issues. Government inspectors will conduct random sampling to detect aberrations and order corrective action.
