A PQC program controls a single product, operation, or part of an operation in a meat or poultry establishment. FSIS is removing the design requirements for PQC programs and the requirements for establishments to have PQC programs for certain products or processes. For example, poultry slaughtering establishments operating under the New Line Speed (NELS) inspection system and the New Turkey Inspection System (NTIS) will no longer be required to operate PQC programs in conjunction with those systems.
