Can we apply the 70/30 rule on mechanically separated chicken and turkey, and use “and” in place of a comma between these ingredients? For example mechanically separated chicken and turkey?
This information is found in the Final Rule for the Use of Two Kinds of Poultry Without Label Change in the Federal Register entry dated March 9, 1998. It states that mechanically separated poultry is considered part of the poultry ingredients. The poultry ingredients must constitute no more than 30% of the poultry and poultry ingredients because the remainder must be the poultry. The poultry ingredients “must be listed separately in the ingredient statement, including the mechanically separated (kind) in accordance with the November 3, 1995, regulatory change in the poultry product inspection regulations (9 CFR 381.117 (e))”. Therefore, mechanically separated chicken and mechanically separated turkey must be listed as such in the ingredient statement without the use of “and”.
