View Rule

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) proposed to amend its regulations to define the conditions under which the labeling of meat, poultry, and egg products, as well as voluntarily-inspected products, can bear voluntary statements indicating that the product is of United States (U.S.) origin. FSIS also proposed to allow the authorized claims, "Product of USA” and "Made in the USA” on the labels of FSIS-regulated products derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States. U.S.-origin label claims other than "Product of USA” or "Made in the USA” would need to include a description on the package of how the product compares to the regulatory "Product of USA” and "Made in the USA” definition, including all preparation and processing steps that occurred in the United States upon which the claim is made. FSIS is reviewing comments on the proposed rule.
