Participation in Salmonella Testing Near Perfect

The Animal Protein Producers Industry (APPI) is a non-profit industry corporation established in 1984. The function of this member comprised corporation is to promote and heighten the production and manufacture of safe animal by-products by improving the microbiological and chemical quality of feed fat and animal proteins; to develop and disseminate educational materials and conduct seminars on rendering plant sanitation; and to engage in all other lawful trade association activities on behalf of the membership.

APPI members participate in a coordinated program for Salmonella testing that will ultimately assist in the control of the organism in rendered animal proteins. Over 98 percent of animal proteins produced in North America are manufactured at facilities that participate in APPI’s Salmonella Education/Reduction Program.
