USDA/FSIS RIN: 0583-AC83 Publication ID: Fall 2009 
Title: Classes of Poultry; Updating Poultry Class Standards 
Abstract: FSIS will re-propose this rule based on new information on the definition and standard for "roaster" and "roasting chicken." The Agency will not re-propose any other definition in this rule. This action is being taken to ensure that poultry products are labeled in a truthful and non-misleading manner. The rule will update existing regulations to reflect current poultry characteristics and production practices. Therefore, the impact on the poultry industry is expected to be minimal.
