meat and poultry (1)On March 13, 2023, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) published a regulation in the Federal Register on “Voluntary Labeling of FSIS-Regulated Products with U.S.-Origin Claims”.

The document emphasizes the following key points:
  • To ensure meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and properly labeled and packaged;
  • To amend regulation for the specified food categories to bear voluntary label claims-U.S origin;
  • Voluntary inclusion of Claims must meet the requirement as per the proposed rule;
  • Proposal to amend labeling regulations at 9 CFR part 412, Label Approval;
  • The two authorized voluntary label claims to indicate that an FSIS-regulated product is of U.S. origin: ‘‘Product of USA’’ and ‘‘Made in the USA.’’

The proposed regulation is valid for public comments until May 12, 2023.
