FSIS inspectors examine which of the following?

• A. Examine establishment process/products/systems
• B. Set farm subsidies
• C. Approve feed additives
• D. Regulate fertilizer

Answer: (C)

FSIS inspectors focus on how meat and poultry facilities operate to keep products safe. They examine the establishment’s processes, the products being produced, and the systems in place to control safety risks—such as sanitation, equipment cleanliness, and the monitoring of critical controls under HACCP plans. This hands-on verification ensures that processing steps, labeling, and recall procedures meet regulatory standards and that the overall operation maintains public health safeguards.

Activities like setting farm subsidies, regulating fertilizer, or approving feed additives fall outside the FSIS inspection role. Farm subsidies are policy programs managed by agricultural agencies, fertilizer regulation is handled by other regulatory bodies, and feed additives are approved by the FDA.
