Houston. “Since the soy was not
listed as an ingredient on the label,
the product was also misbranded.”
Under federal law, USDA can
seek withdrawal of inspection
services if a company, or any
official responsibly connected with
the company, is convicted of any
felony or more than one
misdemeanor related to the
handling of food.
Withdrawal of inspection ser
