Food Safety and Quality Service

No 309300, Agricultural Information Bulletins from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Frankfurters, turkey potpie, chicken soup, chili con carne, pizza with sausage — these are a few of the processed meat and poultry products that are subject to the inspection and labeling requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Federal laws require truthful and accurate information on the labels of all processed foods, and the regulation of food labeling is shared by two agencies — USDA's Food Safety and Quality Service (FSQS) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
