PolicyPoints
PolicyPoints are PowerPoint presentations prepared for each new
FSIS issuance (e.g., notices and directives) to provide a
uniform delivery system for supervisors, inspection personnel
and industry to minimize the need for clarification
after release of new issuances. Each presentation will
capture the highlights and significant changes in each new
issuance.
