Steiner Consulting is forecasting US
beef imports in 2024 to be 4.3 billion pounds, 600 million pounds higher than in 2023, and more than 900 million pounds higher than in 2022.
FSIS encourages retailers to consider the facility’s intended use when grinding beef at retail and maintain ongoing communication with their supplier to ensure critical food safety risks are controlled.
Under the guidance, OSHA inspections in these establishments will focus on hazards associated with sanitation and cleanup operations, ergonomics, hazardous energy and machine guarding, among others.
