National Chicken Council Submits Supplement to Validate Cooking Instruction Changes
The National Chicken Council (NCC) has submitted a supplement to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) to update its 2016 petition requesting that FSIS adopt regulations establishing labeling requirements for not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) stuffed chicken breast products that may appear ready-to-eat (RTE).
The petition was first filed by NCC on May 24, 2016. The supplement updates the petition to reflect updates in "collective understanding" of these chicken products.
