Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) sets standards for food safety and inspects meat, poultry, and egg products produced domestically and imported. The Service inspects animals and birds at slaughter and processed products at various stages of the production process, and analyzes products for microbiological and chemical adulterants. FSIS also informs the public about meat, poultry, and egg product food safety issues. FSIS works with the Research, Education and Economics mission area on food safety research issues and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service on instances where animal diseases impact food safety. FSIS also facilitates the management of US activities pertaining to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international organization created by the United Nations, to promote the health and economic interests of consumers while encouraging fair international trade in food.

Ag, Cl, and N to six-figure accuracy.1 This Nobel Prize-winning research allowed the accurate determination of atomic masses of many elements. In combustion analysis, a sample is burned in excess oxygen and products are measured. Combustion is typically used to measure C, H, N, S, and halogens in organic compounds. To measure other elements in food, organic matter is burned in a closed system, the products and ash (unburned material) are dissolved in acid or base, and measured by inductively coupled plasma with atomic emission or mass spectrometry.
