Hi All, 

 

I need some help. Our licence is ready to cook. but If we cook chicken fully and still give cooking instructions on the label, Would it be acceptable legally ?  If It is acceptable, Can I state on label, It is fully cooked ? 

 

Many thanks.

If you don't have a validated RTE process then I would assume legally cooking instructions are required. FSAI would be the final authority on this, but I would say stating fully cooked is acceptable as long as the chicken is not marketed as RTE as packaging, storage, and handling methods are entirely different.
