As part of its "Poultry Insight" series, the U.S. Poultry & Egg Assn. (USPOULTRY) has created several videos that address food safety advancements in the poultry industry.

The videos take the form of a discussion with Rafael Rivera, manager of food safety and production programs for USPOULTRY. The series addresses how the modern food safety system developed, how food safety is implemented in the poultry industry, current food safety practices implemented at the farm and at the processing plant and defines HACCP and how it works.

"USPOULTRY and our members recognize consumers have questions about the poultry industry’s food safety practices. This series of videos is designed to provide a general overview about food safety in the poultry industry, and we welcome any feedback from consumers who have additional questions," USPOULTRY president John Starkey said.

One video addressing all of the food safety advancement areas can be viewed on the USPOULTRY YouTube page by clicking here. Videos addressing the individual areas can be viewed by clicking here. The videos can also be viewed on USPOULTRY’s website at www.uspoultry.org.
