The Food Safety and Inspection Services Group assists members in issues related to meat and poultry inspection. The group also interfaces with USDA and FDA on regulatory initiatives related to inspection. The Food Safety and Inspection Services Group also manages AMI’s research and education arm, the AMI Foundation (AMIF). AMIF is a non-profit research, education and information Foundation established by the American Meat Institute to study ways the meat and poultry industry can produce better, safer products and operate more efficiently. Since its inception in 1992, AMIF has been awarded more than $5 million in research funds from a number of funding sources. AMIF employs experts in science, education and communications to manage research projects and to translate research findings into useful educational opportunities and informational resources for the industry and the public.
