Both APHIS and FSIS fall under which parent organization?

• A. HHS
• B. USDA
• C. DOT
• D. EPA

Answer: (B)

Under the federal structure, agencies focused on agriculture and food safety are grouped under the U.S. Department of Agriculture. APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) handles animal and plant health and pest protection, while FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) oversees safety and inspection of meat, poultry, and processed egg products. Both belong to USDA, not to Health and Human Services, Transport, or the Environmental Protection Agency.
