In the March 10, 2015, Federal Register, USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service ("FSIS") announced the extension of the comment period for the verification testing program announced in the January 25, 2015, Federal Register. The initial notice requested comments on new pathogen reduction performance standards for Salmonella and Campylobacter in raw chicken parts and not-ready-to-eat comminuted chicken and turkey products. The notice also announced, among other things, plans to begin sampling raw chicken parts in March 2015 to gain additional information on the prevalence of the microbiological characteristics of the two pathogens. The extension is in response to a request made by a coalition of trade associations. Comments are now due May 26, 2015.
