The Trump administration is withdrawing a Biden-era proposal to reduce Salmonella in raw poultry, according to NBC News. The Agriculture Department cited “significant financial and operational burdens on American businesses and consumers." The Biden-era proposal aimed to establish new safety standards to prevent the sale of raw chicken contaminated with Salmonella. It also sought to overhaul testing and safety procedures in poultry slaughterhouses. The Meat Institute urged Trump to withdraw the Biden-era rule, calling it costly and burdensome, while the USDA said it failed to effectively address Salmonella.
