The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is revising a previous notice (58-10) to clarify the type of information to collect from labels on source product and to clarify the information to collect from the containers of products purchased from brokers or distributors.

The new notice (80-11) instructs inspection program personnel (IPP) to record information about the source materials and about the suppliers at the time they sample ground beef or bench trim for E. coli O157:H7.
