Dual Jurisdiction: Also in Need of ‘Modernization’

"Dual Jurisdiction," for those who may not know, generally describes a processing plant where more than one product line is being produced, and some of the facility's products fall under the Department of Health and Human Service's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agency for regulation, and some are regulated by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Examples are foods like vegetarian pizza vs. pepperoni pizza, bagel dogs vs. corn dogs, and tomato soup vs. chicken noodle soup. These are dual jurisdiction products.
