Subject: Public Meeting Proposed Rule on the Availability of Lists of Retail Consignees During Meat or Poultry Product Recalls [Docket No. FSIS-2006-0009]
Date: April 21, 2006 at 12:03 pm PST
SUMMARY: The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) will hold a
public meeting to solicit comments on its proposal to make available to
the public lists of the retail consignees of meat and poultry products
that have voluntarily been recalled by a federally inspected meat or
poultry establishment if product has been distributed to the retail
level. FSIS has proposed to routinely post these retail consignee lists
on its Web site as they are developed by the Agency during its recall
verification activities.
There will be a five-minute time limit for each commenter who
presents at the meeting.
