Aimed at augmenting border control procedures and enhancing technical capacity, the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), through the Meat Import and Export Division (MIED), successfully conducted the Second Border Inspection Training for NMIS Meat Inspection Officers (MIOs) assigned to Cold Storage Warehouses (CSW) from May 19 to 21, 2026 at La Breza Hotel, Quezon City.

The three-day engagement featured theoretical discussions, case studies, and field immersion activities that equipped twenty-one (21) participants with extensive knowledge on border inspection procedures, laboratory sample collection, management of adverse food safety and quality findings, and the disposition of administrative cases involving meat commodities.

The activity reinforced the Agency’s commitment to strengthening the technical competence and confidence of MIOs in conducting second border inspections in the CSWs. Moreover, it highlighted the paramount priority of achieving the appropriate level of protection (ALOP) of the country while ensuring fair practices in food trade.
