What abbreviation stands for the document used to record interviews and information shared with the establishment?

• A. Memorandum of Interview (MOI)
• B. Memorandum of Information (MOI)
• C. Memorandum of Inspection (MOI)
• D. Memorandum of Interaction (MOI)

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is identifying the formal record used to capture what is said during an interview with the establishment. In FSIS inspections, the document that records interviews and the information the establishment shares is the Memorandum of Interview. It creates a written trace of who was interviewed, when, the questions asked, the responses given, and any information the establishment provided, which helps ensure accuracy and a reliable basis for follow-up or enforcement if needed. The other options don’t fit because a Memorandum of Information would suggest a general memo about information rather than a record of an interview, a Memorandum of Inspection would pertain to inspection findings, and a Memorandum of Interaction is not a standard FSIS document.
