The Meating Place: By Rita Jane Gabbett on 10/1/2013 The good news:USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service in-plant inspectors are unaffected by the budget-induced government shutdown, as are laboratory personnel who test for microbes and even their equipment maintenance staff. The bad news: a host of other USDA functions, including the agency’s website and reports that industry players depend on, will not be issued until Congress agrees to a budget and government offices reopen. Also affected are a number of Food and Drug Administration functions, including establishment inspections. meatingplace/Industry/News/Details/45082
