the ' U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s meat and poultry
inspection program, now nearing
completion, is the key to
correcting poultry plant
sanitation deficiencies
discovered by the General Ac
counting Office early this year.
Lyng explained that the new
organizational structure in
corporates many of the recom
mendations of the GAO, and
more clearly defines specific
responsibilities for sanitation
enforcement, from Washington
headquarters to each of the some
4,000 meat and poultry plants
operating under federal in
spection.
USDA said the reorganization
was begun in November of last
year after a thorough
examination of the inspection
program by USDA personnel and
an independent management
consultant team. This
examination, USDA said,
disclosed the need for better
supervision at all levels of the
program.
As a result, more
streamlined headquarters
operation in Washington has been
developed, unnecessary
supervisory levels are being
eliminated in the field, and the
remaining field supervisors are
being relieved of most desk and
paperwork duties in order to
devote more time to actual
supervisory duties.
