FSIS Announces Temporary Allowances for Foodservice Labels Going to Retail
24 March 2020
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a Constituent Update announcing the Agency temporarily is exercising enforcement discretion to provide labeling flexibilities for redirecting to retail meat and poultry products originally intended for food service.
Importantly, FSIS’s enforcement discretion applies only to food that already has been produced. FSIS continues to expect all food currently being produced to meet all requirements. This memorandum describes the circumstances under which products may be moved to retail with certain labeling deviations.
