Reinhard pointed out that
FSIS pathogen testing data has shown measurable progress in food safety for the turkey industry through its Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point program and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures.
He added that a food safety system should not only focus on blame assessment and punishment following a problem, but should coordinate with the industry and take measures to prevent food safety problems from arising.
