This product presents the results of the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) February – March 2021 pulse survey of Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) inspectors to obtain information about how FSIS frontline inspectors perceive coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) safety in their work environments.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) performed an inspection of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to determine whether USDA followed Federal and Departmental incident response guidance.
We evaluated the policies and procedures FSIS used to waive regulatoryrequirements and allow establishments, including those participating in SIP, to testnew procedures, equipment, and meat and poultry processing techniques.
OIG evaluated APHIS’ controls over the licensing of exhibitors of dangerous animals and the agency’s efforts to safeguard both the animals and members of the public who visit exhibitor facilities.
