From: (b) (6) - FSIS [mailto:(b) (6) fsis.usda.gov] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 12:41 PM To: (b) (6) (VDACS) Subject: Component 7 for state office Good morning, Dr. (b) (6) Everything appears to be set for the onsite review. I just wanted to touch base on the Component 7 information sheet which I sent out a few weeks ago. If the Compliance folks can get it filled out and returned it will save them a considerable amount of time in the office during the review. By laying out their selected supporting documents in sequential order of the questions they will be able to get through the component much faster thus freeing them up for any compliance duties they may have. I just returned for SC and they were able to save a lot of time by preparing things in advance. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns which I can address. I look forward to working with everyone again! Regards, (b) (6) PS- I have attached another copy of the worksheet for review just in case you would like to refer to it.

But we can be thankful they are still feeding the little children mechanically separated turkey and chicken. Actually let me be serious about something the reason this story had any legs is mainly because of Facebook and twitter. The power of social media is amazing and information and misinformation can spread like wildfire.
