USDA MPI Directory vs PACA USDA Mobile

USDA’s 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 USDA’s 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 it’s 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.

USDA’s Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) Mobile App provides information on the role of the PACA in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. Through the interactive app you can search the PACA database to determine if an entity is licensed under PACA. For each company you can view their License status, Trade name(s), Branch location(s), Principal(s) and other License related information. Access the PACA Good Delivery table to interpret the maximum defect allowances for fresh fruits and vegetables sold on an F.O.B basis during normal transit. You can also quickly find information about PACA, including PACA Licensing, Reporting a Violation, and PACA contact information.
