contain egg products as an ingredient
since it assumed responsibility for
conducting the Federal egg products
inspection program from AMS on May
28, 1995.2 However, because AMS has
now instituted an export certification
program of its own, to avoid overlap and
confusion, FSIS will discontinue issuing
export certificates for prepared or
manufactured food products containing
egg products. FSIS will stop certifying
these products for export on November
10, 2014.
FSIS will also update the FSIS Export
Library on November 10, 2014 to show
this change in the export certification
process. Exporters should contact AMS
for assistance. Additional information
