FSIS Posts FY 2026 Public Health Regulations
Today, FSIS posted the fiscal year (FY) 2026 Public Health Regulations (PHR) report on how FSIS determines PHRs and their thresholds.
FSIS updates its PHRs annually and uses a number of criteria described in Directive 5100.4 to prioritize establishments for Public Health Risk Evaluations (PHREs), including PHR noncompliance. The agency has analyzed current data and developed the FY 2025 list of PHRs, including the thresholds used to prioritize establishments for PHREs and to alert inspection personnel of elevated PHR noncompliance levels.
For FY 2025 and earlier, the aggregate PHRs noncompliance rate by establishments was evaluated and compared to thresholds (also referred to as cut points) for two categories of establishment operations: “Processing” (processing only) and “Combination” (both slaughter and processing). For FY 2026, the categories were further divided into four broad categories of establishment operations: “Processing” (processing only), “Meat Slaughter”, “Poultry Slaughter”, and “Meat and Poultry Slaughter” to enhance the ability to identify differences in establishment noncompliance. Establishments categorized as “Slaughter” may also engage in processing.
More detailed information about PHRs, as well as archived PHRs by fiscal year, are available on the FSIS Public Health Regulations page of the FSIS website.
