FSIS collects scientific information and generates reports in support of the Agency's farm-to-table strategies.

Microbiology

Results of baseline data studies, E. coli O157:H7 testing, ready-to-eat product sampling, and Salmonella/Campylobacter verification testing are reported here. FSIS's Office of Public Health Science (OPHS) uses the latest scientifically-based microbiological approaches to detect, understand, and prevent foodborne hazards. (See also: National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF).)

Residue Chemistry

FSIS provides information on the National Residue Program, residue policy issuances, Residue Repeat Violator Lists, and studies to determine presence of contaminants such as dioxin.

FSIS Datasets

Data files; establishment-specific data; sample datasets and corresponding data dictionaries.

FSIS Data Analysis and Reporting

Learn what type of data FSIS collects, what type of analyses are performed using the data, and how these analyses are used in performance management and strategic planning. Includes annual sampling plans.

Data.gov

Data.gov is the home of the U.S. Government’s open data. Here you will find data, tools, and resources to conduct research, develop web and mobile applications, design data visualizations, and more. FSIS offers some datasets through this government-wide repository. 

FoodNet

FoodNet is a collaborative project among FSIS, CDC, and FDA to identify, control, and prevent foodborne disease hazards. FoodNet uses sentinel sites in various states to provide more stable and accurate national estimates of the burden and sources of specific foodborne diseases.
