The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing the agency's intent to revise the Food Standards and Labeling Policy Book. The agency has stopped adding policy guidance to it; however, FSIS will continue to amend or remove items in the book, as necessary, to remain consistent with agency policies and regulations. The revised Food Standards and Labeling Policy Book will provide updated information for establishments to use when creating new labels and when modifying existing labels for meat and poultry products.
A downloadable version of the Food Standards and Labeling Policy Book is available for viewing and printing at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/regulatory-compliance/labeling/Labeling-Policies. No hard copies have been published.
FSIS invites interested persons to submit comments on this notice on or before October 19, 2015. For more information, visit http://www.regulations.gov/.
