From common colds to stomach bugs, back to school can also mean back to the doctor. Children are more likely to get sick from contaminated food, so it’s important for parents and caregivers to recognize the symptoms of foodborne illness.

Scientific integrity should be colorblind to politics. Unfortunately, @USDA employees with decades of food safety experience were overruled by rogue Biden political appointees who thought they knew better. The result: Biden's USDA issued a salmonella mitigation plan based on a test that didn't work. It STILL does not work today. And yet the Biden USDA based an entire federal rule on this falsehood.
@USDAFoodSafety corrects the record today. Gold standard science requires no less. And take a look at the Biden USDA's own documents showing they knew what they published was FALSE. ⬇️

Meet USDA Grade A Poultry. @USDA grade shield is added assurance of quality based on official standards. Only products examined by USDA graders bear it. While some poultry is graded, all poultry is USDA‑inspected for safety and wholesomeness.
ALT This is an informational poster from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service titled "Meet USDA Grade A Poultry." It features illustrations of poultry and a USDA Grade Shield. The poster explains that USDA Grade A is the highest quality poultry for sale in retail stores, focusing on factors like cleanliness and absence of bruising. Cooking tips are included for thawing frozen products safely and ensuring optimal moisture through dry heat methods. USDA logos and accreditation details are presented at the bottom.

New Mexico is now the 31st state with an approved State Meat and Poultry Inspection program! The state's participation expands local inspection capacity, enhances food safety oversight, and boosts market access for small and very small meat and poultry processors while maintaining strong national standards.
✅ Supporting small plants. ✅ Strengthening resilience. ✅ Protecting consumers.

🗞️USDA Launches Initiative to Bring More States into Meat Inspection: fsis.usda.gov/news-events/ne…
🚨BIG NEWS from the @NASDAnews Annual Meeting in Maine!
Today, I announced @USDA’s new Stand-Up Program, which will provide up to $50 million to help states join or expand federal-state meat inspection programs.
These partnerships allow more small and regional processors to reach new markets while maintaining the highest food-safety standards.
When independent processors succeed, ranchers gain more options, consumers gain more choices, and rural communities grow stronger.
Thank you to Commissioner Amanda Beal, Ted McKinney, and our state agriculture leaders for working alongside us to put America’s farmers and ranchers first! 🇺🇸
