This is comment on Proposed Rule

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

View Comment

We opposed the proposal. First the label cannot be permanently affixed to the product. Label can be altered. Second it will just add addition cost to tax payers and importers. Third FDA can place a hold and examined on all shipments from a problem foreign exporter. In turn, they can determine if the product from that lot was already refused. FDA has to find a better approach to preventing products from entering the US by pinpointing the problems and addressing it. Tax payers spent a lot of money for the FFR Registration, CTPAT and other registration system. What is it all for? We have to be able to determine and target the problem. Labeling the products does not address the problem.
