Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Notice 42-11 was issued in August 2011 to provide inspection program personnel (IPP) with instruction on how to request expedited scheduling of FSIS Salmonella verification sampling when an establishment has substantially altered its food safety system or temporarily changed its process without validation of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Plan.

The notice 66-12 issued on Wednesday provides IPP with new examples of situations where requesting an expedited verification set is warranted and with updated instructions so that appropriate requests are made.
