FDA Proposes Label Requirement for Imported Food Refused Entry into the United States

The FDA is proposing a rule that would require owners or consignees of imported food to label it with a 'UNITED STATES: REFUSED ENTRY' label, in order to prevent the reintroduction of refused food and facilitate the examination of imported goods, as part of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002.
