The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, announced a delay in starting the sampling of not-ready-to-eat breaded stuffed chicken products for Salmonella. Originally scheduled for May 1, 2025, this will now begin on November 3, 2025. This delay allows time to finalize instructions, ensure inspection readiness, and help the industry prepare. It also gives the new FSIS leadership a chance to review policies regarding this issue.
Simple Explanation
The people making sure our chicken is safe to eat need more time to check and plan so they can look for germs better. They'll start checking later this year so they can prepare properly.
