Related Documents for FSIS Directive 7120.1 - Safe and
Suitable Ingredients used in the Production of Meat,
Poultry, and Egg Products |
|
|
|
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) share an
ingredient approval process. FDA determines the safety of
substances and prescribes safe conditions of use. FSIS
determines the efficacy and suitability of food ingredients in
meat, poultry, and egg products.
During FSIS’s suitability determinations, we assess the
effectiveness of the ingredient in performing the intended
purpose of use. We also review to assure that the conditions of
use do not result in an adulterated product, or one that
misleads the consumer.
Once a safety and suitability determination is made for use of a
substance in meat and poultry products, it is added to FSIS
Directive 7120.1. This directive provides inspection program
personnel with an up-to-date list of substances that may be used
in the production of meat, poultry, and egg products.

The list of substances that may be used in the production of
meat, poultry, and egg products is updated quarterly.
Download the complete listing or segments as needed.
