Federal Agency Seeks to Extend Meat and Poultry Nutrition Label Requirements

Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 4:36 AM

The Food Safety and Inspection Service plans to renew its information collection requirements for nutrition labeling on raw meat and poultry products. The current approval expires in July 2026, with no changes proposed to existing regulations.

Federal food safety officials are moving to extend their authority to collect information about nutrition labeling requirements for raw meat and poultry products sold in stores across the country.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced plans to seek renewal of its current information collection system, which covers nutrition labeling standards for basic cuts of raw meat and poultry, as well as ground and chopped varieties of these products.

The agency is following procedures outlined in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and related federal regulations as it prepares to request the extension. Officials indicated that no modifications will be made to the current information collection system.

The existing authorization for this data collection initiative is set to end on July 31, 2026, prompting the renewal request to maintain continuity in nutrition labeling oversight for meat and poultry products.
