FSIS has launched a mobile app version of the Meat, Poultry and Egg Inspection (MPI) Directory. The Android app provides a listing of establishments that produce meat, poultry and/or egg products regulated by FSIS. By making the MPI Directory available via mobile devices, the data will now be more easily accessible, not just to industry, but to FSIS employees and inspectors as well as the public.
The MPI Directory is FSIS' most accessed online information and is downloaded approximately 25,000 times per month. The information, previously available as PDF and data files, is now available through the app. The second release, scheduled for later in the year, will run on Apple devices. The mobile application can be downloaded from Google play here or by searching "usda mpi directory" from the Android Google Play app.
Initial download and regular updates to the mobile application will require an internet connection, but the mobile application's normal mode of operation will give customers the option to work without a network connection.
