Food Safety and Inspection Service July 13, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is providing new information on, and re-proposing the definition and standard for, ``roaster'' and ``roasting chicken.'' FSIS proposed this definition and standard in its September 29, 2003, proposed rule to amend the definitions and standards for the official U.S. classes of poultry. After the proposed rule was published, FSIS received from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) new information that would affect the definition and standard for ``roaster'' or ``roasting chicken.'' FSIS has tentatively concluded that it should re-propose this definition and standard but no others in the proposed rule.
