The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA’s FSIS) has expanded its generic label approval regulations to include certain categories of meat, poultry, and egg products.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that January 1, 2026, will be the uniform compliance date for final food labeling regulations that are issued in calendar years 2023 and 2024.
Organizations call on agency to support mandatory labeling of cell-based/cultured meat and poultry products and to solicit input on what that labeling should look like.
CSPI petitioned FSIS to amend its labeling regulations to prohibit the statements "No Nitrate or Nitrite Added" and "Uncured" on meat products that have been processed using any sources of nitrates or nitrites, including non-synthetic sources.
FDA intends to exercise this enforcement discretion to provide industry with greater flexibility when labeling food products, including those formulated to reduce sodium content.
