Bacon Packaging
Deadline Postponed
The U S Department of
Agriculture (USDA) postponed
until August 19 the deadline by
which meat processors must
convert to new bacon packaging
and cured meat labeling required
by regulations issued last year.
Those regulations provide that
bacon packages shall have a
“window” which must show the
surface of a representative slice
of bacon, and that bacon and
other cured meat products such
as hams and shoulders shall be
labeled to show what ingredients
were used in the curing process.
Some processors have already
begun using the new packages,
officials of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) said. More are expected
to do so as machinery and
packaging materials become
available.
Officials explained that the
deadline—originally slated for
February 19— was being post
poned to avoid potential in
creases in consumer prices If
meat processors cannot obtain
sufficient quantities of the
required new packages on time, a
market shortage of these
products will occur.
