Labeling and Marketing of Imported Meat, Poultry and Egg Products

Meat, poultry, and egg products imported into the United States must adhere to the labeling standards in the Federal meat, poultry and egg products inspection Acts, regulations, and policies, or their equivalent.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) reinspection includes verification of labeling requirements, such as the product name and the presence of cooking or heating instructions, validated cooking instructions and in some cases safe handling instructions to verify the classification of the process and product categories.

As an example, label features on Not Ready to Eat (NRTE) products would convey that the product needs to be further cooked prior to consumption, e.g., “cook and serve,” “uncooked,” “cook thoroughly”.

It is essential that the product is properly categorized, as this impacts what reinspections the product in the lot will be subjected to, including product sampling.

Consistent with the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), and the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA), FSIS regulations prohibit misbranded and economically adulterated meat, poultry, and egg products, ensuring that all labels are truthful and not misleading. If a product is deemed to be incorrectly labeled, a wide range of penalties can be imposed, including rescinding the use of the labeling, product retention or detention (prohibiting the sale from anywhere in the chain of commerce), relabeling, or request for product recall.
