Exports
The Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service reports that, beginning June 1, all FSIS meat and poultry product export certificates for products exported to Chile and Argentina (except casings and egg products) will be generated, issued, and officially maintained in FSIS’ Public Health Information System. All export certificates (FSIS Form 9060-5 series) generated through PHIS will be digitally signed by FSIS and printed on plain paper by industry personnel with PHIS access. These forms must include the PHIS-generated watermark. They will replace all letterhead certificates for meat and poultry exported to Chile and Argentina.
