The
Basic Course offers self-paced instruction that stands on its own — but
also serves as the perfect complement to PLC's EZ Form labeling
software. It is the ideal training tool for new employees, as well as a
handy reference for your entire staff.
As in the past, the third edition (with updates) provides up-to-date information on
- Regulatory jurisdictions for food products.
- Label approval and inspection requirements for food products.
- Organization of USDA/FSIS divisions involved with food labeling.
- Basic requirements for meat and poultry labels, including
instructions for completing Form 7234 and detailed explanations of
required label features.
- Special label requirements, including product name qualifiers.
- Important processing and formulation requirements, including ingredients permitted for use and key standards of identity.
- Restricted ingredients: what's allowed, at what levels, and how to calculate levels to assure compliance.
The expanded third edition (with updates) also contains new sections covering
- The changing roles of USDA/FSIS and processors in label approval.
- Procedures for label approval at USDA/FSIS' Labeling and Consumer Protection Staff.
- Label approval recordkeeping requirements for processors.
- Labeling of ratite species (emu, ostrich and rhea).
- Calculations to assure agreement between product formulation and name.
Processors are increasingly responsible for the accuracy of their
labeling. More than ever, your labeling staff needs a solid foundation
to stand on...one that pulls the necessary information together in an
easily-understood fashion...one that enhances productivity and
increases accuracy...in short, the new Basic Course in Standards and
Labeling Requirements.
