USDA's First Egg Rules Change in 50 Years Means Inspector Cuts

Changing the interpretation allows the Food Safety and Inspection Service “to better use its inspection resources to conduct more efficient and effective inspections,” the agency said in documents outlining the policy change, which is estimated to save the industry about $4.8 million annually over 10 years. “Manufacturers must meet certain requirements under this final rule. The amount of on-site inspection provided does not change those requirements.”

Not everyone likes the move: inspection personnel, a trade group and academics are among those complaining about the reduction in inspectors, arguing it’ll compromise oversight and shift the burden of adhering to new standards onto manufacturers.
