Marking Requirements for and Prohibitions on the Reimportation of Imported Food Products That Have Been Refused Admission into the United States

요약

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend the food import regulations to require food products which, for safety reasons, are refused entry into the United States to be marked "UNITED STATES REFUSED ENTRY." The proposed rule would also prohibit persons from refusing to affix this mark on refused food, from importing or offering to import a previously refused food, and from altering, removing, tampering with, or concealing a mark. The proposed rule is intended to protect the public health against unsafe imported food products and to facilitate the examination of imported products.
