美国农业部提议加快家禽和猪肉加工线,引起安全关切。 USDA proposes faster poultry and pork processing lines, sparking safety concerns.

美援署的FSIS建议提高家禽和猪肉加工线速度,以提高效率和降低粮食价格,鸡肉厂可能达到每分钟175只鸟类,火鸡厂在经过修订的检查制度下可能达到每分钟60 bpm。 The USDA’s FSIS has proposed increasing poultry and pork processing line speeds to boost efficiency and ease food prices, with chicken plants potentially reaching 175 birds per minute and turkey plants up to 60 bpm under revised inspection systems. 这些变化取消了年度工人安全证明,并允许猪肉厂在程序控制得以维持的情况下设定速度,这些变化经过了人事厅的批准和行业支持,尽管工会和安全倡导者提出了关切。 The changes, which remove annual worker-safety attestations and allow pork plants to set speeds if process control is maintained, follow OMB clearance and industry support, though labor unions and safety advocates raise concerns. Smitfield Foods计划在苏福尔斯建造一个13亿美元的新设施,美国最终与台湾达成了一项贸易协议,减少猪肉出口壁垒,包括针对抗氯胺酮采用法典标准。 Smithfield Foods plans a $1.3 billion new facility in Sioux Falls, and the U.S. finalized a trade deal with Taiwan reducing barriers on pork exports, including adopting Codex standards for ractopamine.
