Which category in the FSIS process control framework represents Consistent Process Control for Salmonella and Campylobacter testing?

• A. Category 2 Variable Process Control
• B. Category 3 Highly Variable Process Control
• C. Category 1 Consistent Process Control
• D. Category 4 Stable Process Control

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that the level named Consistent Process Control reflects a predictable, in-control process where performance stays within established limits across lots. In FSIS’s framework, this alignment means you can rely on standard verification for pathogens like Salmonella and Campylobacter because the process outputs are stable and consistently controlled. The label directly matches this description, distinguishing it from categories that imply more variability, which would require additional monitoring and corrective actions.
