FSIS Identifies Process For Beef Plants To Regain Export Eligibility

Beef slaughter and cutting establishments that were reviewed by Russian officials in September, but not approved to export to Russia, can be approved upon FSIS verification of correction of deficiencies identified by Russian officials during the review.

Plant management must submit a corrective action plan to the FSIS IIC that lists each deficiency identified by Russian officials on the review form (Act of Inspection) and that lists each corrective action taken by the plant. The IIC will verify that the corrective actions are adequate. Questions about the Russia requirements should be addressed to the Import/Export Programs Staff at (800) 233-3935.

Once the corrective actions are verified as adequate, the IIC will complete an FSIS letterhead verification document and fax the verification document and the corrective action plan to the Import/Export Programs Staff at (202) 720-7990 or send by email to importexport@fsis.usda.gov.

After review of the documents FSIS, Office of International Affairs will notify Russian officials of the corrective actions. Following the notification, the approved plant list will be revised to indicate eligibility of the establishment.
