FSIS is delaying the effective date of the final rule that will require nutrition labeling of the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products and ground or chopped meat and poultry products. The original effective date of the final rule was January 1, 2012, and it is now being delayed until March 1, 2012.
The delay will ensure that industry has adequate time to comply with the requirements of the final rule. A Federal Register notice announcing the delay of the effective date is forthcoming.
