• As previously covered on this blog, FSIS recently released a proposed rule to revise its nutrition labeling requirements for meat and poultry products to reflect current scientific research and dietary recommendations. FSIS indicates that the changes parallel FDA’s recently revised nutrition labeling requirements (see our previous blog coverage regarding FDA’s revised nutrition facts requirements here).
  • On, February 22, 2017, FSIS announced that it has extended the comment period by 30 days, or until April 19, 2017.
  • A Keller and Heckman client alert addressing potential implications of the proposed rule is available here.  Keller and Heckman attorneys stand ready to assist interested parties in preparing comments and can be reached at: fooddrug@khlaw.com.
