5 Applicants Want to Be USDA’s First Horse Slaughter Client
UPDATE: Since originally published this morning,
USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
public affairs staff have provided Food Safety News
with copies of the applications for equine inspection services.
The FSIS officials did so in part to illustrate that most of the applications
are not complete in the sense that items are missing
or not filled out correctly, meaning, an official says,
they “are not even close to having a walk through with FSIS.”
From those applications, some additional information
has been added to this story.
