An Evaluation of the Food Safety Requirements of the Federal Purchase Ground Beef Program
by Committee on an Evaluation of the Food Safety Requirements of the Federal Purchase Ground Beef Program; Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources; Division on Earth and Life Studies; National Research Council
Description
To ensure the safety of food distributed through the National School Lunch Program, food banks, and other federal food and nutrition programs, the United States Department of Agriculture has established food safety and quality requirements for the ground beef it purchases. This National Research Council book reviews the scientific basis of the Department's ground beef safety standards, evaluates how the standards compare to those used by large retail and commercial food service purchasers of ground beef, and looks at ways to establish periodic evaluations of the Federal Purchase Ground Beef Program. The book finds that although the safety requirements could be strengthened using scientific concepts, the prevention of future outbreaks of foodborne disease will depend on eliminating contamination during production and ensuring meat is properly cooked before it is served.
