    The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service is planning to expand testing for six non-O157 strains of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli （STEC） – just recently declared adulterants – to more beef products next year.

    According to Meatingplace （subscription only）， FSIS official Emilio Esteban told a North American Meat Association conference Wednesday, "We are expecting to expand beyond （testing） trim sometime in 2013."

    The report noted that, at the same conference, which was focused on E. coli, Acting Assistant FSIS Administrator Office of Policy and Program Development Rachel Edelstein did not speculate on exactly which products FSIS would test next. Edelstein added that FSIS would have to send any changes to the White House Office of Management and Budget for a cost-benefit analysis before they could take effect.
