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.
