| 95-31390 | Substances Approved for Use in the Preparation of Meat and Poultry Products | Proposed Rule | FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to harmonize and improve the efficiency of the procedures used by FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reviewing and approving the use of substances in meat and poultry products. Under the proposed procedures, FSIS would no longer issue its own regulations listing substances it finds suitable for use in meat and poultry products. Instead, by agreement between USDA and the FDA, future FDA regulations would specify whether a substance approved for use in foods under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) may be used in or on meat or poultry products. Current FDA regulations that approve the use of substances in foods generally and do not preclude meat and poultry uses will confer authority to use such substances in meat and poultry products unless expressly prohibited by USDA regulation. Requests for meat and poultry uses of substances not permitted under title 9 or title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) would have to be made to FDA in the form of a petition for FDA approval. FDA is simultaneously publishing in this issue of the Federal Register a proposal that would amend the FDA regulations governing the review of petitions for the approval of food additives to provide for simultaneous review of such petitions by FSIS when meat or poultry product uses are indicated. This would permit FDA listings to specify whether, and if so under what conditions, such substances may be used in USDA-inspected meat and poultry products. Such listings would eliminate the need for separate FSIS rulemaking. FSIS would limit any future, substance-specific rulemaking to prohibitions or limitations on meat or poultry uses of specific substances that may be necessary to protect the public under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) or Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA). FSIS would continue to provide evaluations upon request as to whether substances permitted for general use under current regulations are suitable for specific uses in meat and poultry products. FSIS proposes to adopt the position that substances that are listed in title 21, CFR, Parts 182 and 184, as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food generally, with no limitation other than good manufacturing practice, would be accepted by USDA as GRAS for use in meat, meat food products, and poultry products generally, unless otherwise restricted for such use by regulation in title 9, CFR. Other GRAS substances currently permitted for general food use would be evaluated by FSIS as to their suitability for specified uses in meat food products and poultry products on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with FDA as appropriate. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31390/substances-approved-for-use-in-the-preparation-of-meat-and-poultry-products | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31390.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | FSIS is proposing to amend the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations to harmonize and improve the efficiency of the procedures used by FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for reviewing and approving the use of substances in meat... |
