Lab keeps SC food safeGlobal economic uncertainty will create challenges for U.S. beef and pork exports in many countries, but the main concern for foreign consumers is meat safety. Clemson’s Livestock-Poultry Health unit is responsible for ensuring livestock and poultry health and the safety of meat and poultry products in South Carolina. Inspectors visit livestock farms, auction houses and meat processing plants to ensure animals are healthy and meat products are safe. |
