For use beginning 3/18/2024
This notice informs inspection program personnel (IPP) that FSIS is amending its regulations to define the conditions under which the labeling of meat, poultry, and egg products under mandatory inspection, as well as voluntarily inspected products, may bear voluntary label claims indicating that the product is of United States origin. As of January 1, 2026, if establishments choose to include these voluntary claims on their labels, they will need to meet the new labeling requirements. IPP should also be aware that FSIS has updated its guidance on the use of voluntary U.S.-origin labels eligible for generic approval. Links to the rule and the guidance are included below.
