USDA said its Food Safety and Inspection Service will conduct
a survey on August 1 to determine how many FSIS-regulated
slaughter and processing plants have voluntarily adopted
functional food defense plans.
A food defense plan puts measures in place that reduce the
chances of someone intentionally contaminating the food
supply in order to kill or hurt people, disrupt the economy
or ruin a business.
Guidance materials, including a food defense self-assessment
checklist for
slaughter and processing plant security, can be accessed

A food defense podcast describing the functions of FSIS'
Office of Food Defense and Emergency Response can be accessed
