Labeling meat and poultry RTE product
Started by cy2299, Feb 23 2018 08:45 PM
Question for all you label junkies out there:
Is there a USDA regulation or guidance on labeling a meat an poultry item in order of predominance?
Example: A mixed meat product with a meat content that is 65% beef and 35% pork.
Should ingredient statement read Beef, pork, next predominant ingredient, and so on
Or should it read Beef and pork, next predominant ingredient, and so on
Or can it be listed both ways?

Frozen Salmon Labeling: Can We Adjust Portion Count for Weight Compliance?
California AB660 Food Date Labeling Rule – B2B Exempt?
Labeling and fortification of candies and chocolate under FDA
Where to Find Section 403(i)(2) of the FD&C Act and How It Relates to Labeling Requirements

Yes, ingredients belong in order of predominance, though you might be able to squeak by with "beef and pork" provided your product includes more beef than pork. If you tried to switch the order LPDD would definitely see it as you trying to mislead a consumer.
