Title: Refrigeration Requirements for Shell Eggs | |
Abstract: Amendments to the Egg Products Inspection Act involved temperature and labeling requirements. AMS proposed changes to 7 CFR part 59 (Inspection of Eggs and Egg Products) to implement the mandatory amendments and changes to 7 CFR part 56 (Grading of Shell Eggs and U.S. Standards, Grades and Weight Classes for Shell Eggs) to make its requirements conform to those mandated in part 59. A USDA reorganization then consolidated food safety responsibilities into FSIS. FSIS promulgated a final rule to revise 7 CFR part 59, later redesignated 9 CFR part 590, to become effective August 27, 1999. AMS is now amending 7 CFR part 56 to conform to the mandatory FSIS requirements, also to become effective August 27, 1999. | |
