What does USDA-FSIS regulate?

• A. Processed egg products, raw meat/poultry, slaughter operations.
• B. Shelled eggs, bottled water, pet/livestock foods, veterinary drugs, infant formula, dietary supplements, all interstate food except meat/poultry/processed eggs.
• C. Production/transportation, veterinary services, animal care, border inspection.
• D. All interstate food except meat/poultry.

Answer: (A)

USDA-FSIS focuses on the safety and inspection of meat, poultry, and processed egg products. They inspect slaughter operations and verify sanitation and processing standards, ensuring that products from these categories are produced under proper controls and properly labeled. This makes the option describing processed egg products, raw meat/poultry, and slaughter operations the best fit for what FSIS regulates. The other items fall under different agencies or broader categories not under FSIS—shell eggs and bottled water are regulated by FDA, as are infant formula, dietary supplements, and many other interstate foods.
