View Rule

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) intends to propose to expand the categories of meat and poultry product labels that it will deem generically approved and thus not required to be submitted to FSIS. These reforms will reduce the regulatory burden on producers seeking to bring products to market as well as the Agency costs expended to evaluate the labels. FSIS is proposing to make these changes by revising its labeling regulations in 9 CFR part 412. FSIS is confident that there will be no food safety impacts from these proposals, based on FSIS’s experience evaluating these types of labels and the ability of inspection personnel to verify labeling requirements in the field.
