USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service will move an important checklist on E. coli O157:H7 control in beef operations currently contained in Notice 65-07 into Directive 10,010.01, Microbiological Testing Program for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Raw Ground Beef Products and Raw Ground Beef Components and Beef Patty Components.

The checklist was set to expire November 1, so the agency is incorporating the checklist into the directive.
