	Food Safety and Inspection Service	Public Health Risk-Based Inspection System for Processing and Slaughter: Technical report This document describes a Public Health Risk-Based Inspection System (PHRBIS) proposal elaborated by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The proposed PHRBIS would be developed within the regulatory framework of current FSIS inspection activities, but would provide more of a focus on process steps that are vulnerable to microbial contamination if there is a loss of process control.
