Prior Label Approval System: Expansion of Generic Label Approval

FSIS is amending its regulations to expand the circumstances under which it will generically approve the labels of meat, poultry, and egg products. Also, as of the effective date of this final rule, FSIS will no longer evaluate generically approved labels that establishments and egg products plants voluntarily submit for FSIS review. FSIS is also announcing the availability of revised guidelines on the types of labels that must be submitted to FSIS for approval.

DATES: This rule is effective 20 March 2023. Submit comments on the revised FSIS Guideline for Label Approval on or before 17 February 2023.
