USDA proposes faster poultry and pork processing lines, sparking safety concerns.
The USDA’s FSIS has proposed increasing poultry and pork processing line speeds to boost efficiency and ease food prices, with chicken plants potentially reaching 175 birds per minute and turkey plants up to 60 bpm under revised inspection systems.
The changes, which remove annual worker-safety attestations and allow pork plants to set speeds if process control is maintained, follow OMB clearance and industry support, though labor unions and safety advocates raise concerns.
