Net weight Letter 2
This letter responds to a petition by multiple trade associations requesting that FSIS amend the meat and poultry products inspection regulations to eliminate the wet tare method of inspection for determining compliance with the net weight labeling requirements for meat and poultry products regulated by FSIS. FSIS determined that it is not necessary to amend the net weight regulations to address the issues raised in the petition. This guideline relates to 9 CFR 381.121 and 9 CFR 441.10.
