Major changes will be made to CN labeling to accommodate final School lunch regulations, Anticpated changes that impact CN labeling are 1) a requirement for all bread grain to contain at least 50% whole grain and 2) to separetely identify fruit and vegetable contribution and the color group of vegetables.
A long term deadline for all CN labels approved before September 2007 will expire on September 1, 2012 is drawing near. All CN labels that expire in Sept 2012 must be resubmitted for a "subsequent approval" to AMS. Such labels will not need to be approval by FSIS. USDA is requiring this because they recognize that crediting policies change over the years and have established a 5-year life for all CN labels.
If CN Labeling is a mystery, consider inviting Phillips Resources to provide a customized training session at your plant. Phillips Resources is meeting the need for a thorough and clear explanation of why USDA is making changes; exactly what changes are being implemented; how your company needs to prepare and when you need to make it happen.
