USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has proposed adding three substances to those approved for use in meat or poultry products.
In a Federal Register Notice, titled “Food Ingredients and Sources of Radiation Listed and Approved for Use in the Production of Meat and Poultry Products.” the agency proposed removing sodium benzoate, sodium propionate and benzoic acid from the list of substances that the regulations prohibit for use in meat or poultry products.
Under this proposal, new uses of these substances in meat or poultry products would continue to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration for safety and by FSIS for suitability. FSIS would add approved uses of these substances to the list of approved substances contained in the agency's directive system.
Comments must be received by July 6, 2012.
