Havelka and Farnsworth Decipher New Poultry Inspection Rules in Law360

Shook attorneys Ann Havelka and Ryan Farnsworth have authored an
August 18, 2014, Law360 article detailing “the first major overhaul of the
nation’s poultry inspection system in nearly 60 years.” Describing the voluntary
and mandatory aspects of the final rule issued by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the article provides
an overview of the regulations most likely to affect industry as the onus for
inspection shifts from government agencies to business operators.

FSIS officially published the final rule in the August 20, 2014, edition of the
Federal Register. Additional information about the regulations appears in Issue
532 of this Update.
