Summary
The Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) of USDA has declared six types of E. coli, in addition to E. coli O157 (nonO157 STEC), to be adulterants in beef that is intended for grinding or needle tenderisation. FSIS will implement a point-of-entry and domestic testing program, which will cause customers of Australian beef to require certificates of analysis, and AQIS (DAFF Biosecurity) to implement a testing program similar to the one that has been implemented for E. coli O157.
