Retraction of an Announcement Concerning Nonfood Compounds and Proprietary Substances

الملخص

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a retraction of an announcement that was mailed to chemical manufacturers and other businesses and posted on the FSIS Internet site. This announcement incorrectly stated that FSIS is discontinuing its policy of approving all nonfood compounds and proprietary substances prior to their use in official meat and poultry establishments. Although FSIS did recently publish a proposal to revise its sanitation regulations, some of which govern the use of certain nonfood compounds, the Agency has not proposed to revise its policy of approving all nonfood compounds or proprietary substances prior to their use in official establishments.
