Verifying sanitation Instructions directive refers to FSIS Directive number?

• A. FSIS Directive 5000.1
• B. FSIS Directive 5100.1
• C. FSIS Directive 4000.1
• D. FSIS Directive 4600.1

Answer: (A)

Understanding how FSIS organizes directives helps here: topics are grouped into numbered series, and sanitation-related procedures live in the 5000-series. When a question asks which directive covers verifying sanitation instructions, the best match is the directive in that sanitation-focused series, FSIS Directive 5000.1. That directive lays out the procedures for verifying that sanitation practices are properly implemented, documented, and maintained, including who conducts the verification, what records are kept, and how often verification occurs. The other directive numbers belong to different subject areas within the FSIS directive system, so they don’t address sanitation verification in the same way. In short, for verifying sanitation instructions, reference to FSIS Directive 5000.1 is the correct association.
