This is comment on Proposed Rule

Label Requirement for Food That Has Been Refused Admission into the United States

View Comment

I hereby submit the following comments regarding the proposed rule: 1. Affixing labels to frozen food master cartons is ineffective since the labels generally: are not permanent, easily fall off in cold storage, and are easily removed. 2. Affixing an example of the label to documents is ineffective since the labels are not permanent and can be easily removed prior to representation of said documents. 3. The labeling requirement proposes to label master cartons. Any inner cartons are exempt from the proposed labeling. 4. The labeling does not identify the product contained therein which are not labeled. Any labeling that is proposed must be permanent and must address both inner and outer packaging as well as the contained product. Products that are not fit for consumption should be permanently made to be non-consumable and readily identifiable as such. Regards
