USDAs Food Safety & Inspection Service provides the Meat, Poultry & Egg Product Inspection Directory (MPI Directory). The MPI Directory provides 24/7 access to information on regulated establishments that produce meat, poultry, and/or egg products as regulated by USDAs FSIS.The USDA MPI Directory app allows customers to look up or search establishments by location or zip code, type of inspection, establishment name or number and type of establishment. Customers can look up the information on a mobile device, when its needed from any place, anywhere, at any time!Want to know where your food was produced or what an establishment produces? Just search by establishment name/number location/zip or type of establishment/inspection type.The USDA MPI Directory app allows customers with or without an internet connection to access the information. While initial download and regular updates to the mobile device will require an internet connection, the directory information resides on the mobile device giving customers the option to look up information without an internet connection. Data is refreshed at least monthly and is also available as text or data downloads from the FSIS and Data.gov websites.The FSIS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) created the downloadable mobile application for mobile devices, such as phones and tablets, to access the USDA MPI Directory data with increased functionality. While initial download and regular updates to the mobile application will require an internet connection, the mobile applications normal mode of operation will give customers the option to work without a network connection.Currently, the existing USDA MPI Directory public web page is accessed approximately 25,000 times per month. By making this public health information available via a mobile application, it is expected that the public access will significantly increase.
