SUMMARY
Knowing and understanding the categories of inspection is an important role in the
performance of the 91R MOS (Veterinary Food Inspection Specialist). The inspector
must be able to identify when an inspection is required, what kind of inspection is needed
and how/who to report their findings. Moreover, a thorough understanding of this material
will prepare you for the subsequent lessons in this course.
