United States Standards for Livestock and Meat Marketing Claims

Streszczenie

These proposed minimum requirements for livestock and meat industry production/marketing claims, when adopted, will become the United States Standards for Livestock and Meat Marketing Claims. Some segments of the livestock and meat industries make claims to distinguish their products from competing products and may request third-party verification by USDA to increase the credibility of their claims. Verification of such claims may be accomplished through examination of the product or through documentation and auditing of the production process. Specifically, USDA is proposing to establish minimum requirements for common production/marketing claims that may be used in voluntary USDA Certified or USDA Verified programs for the livestock and meat industries.
