Foreign animal disease emergency preparedness and response in meat hygiene

Each federal meat establishment operator and every Veterinarian with Supervisory Authority (VSA) should develop and maintain a written contingency plan for foreign animal diseases (FADs). Although they should each have their own contingency plan, these plans should be developed in collaboration as there are responsibilities for each party that must be covered for a successful response.

For a full copy of the documents below, please contact the Veterinarian with Supervisory Authority / Veterinarian In Charge of your federal meat establishment.
