A. No, FSIS Notice 15-06 does not change the FMIA, PPIA, or any regulation. Livestock and poultry meat products produced as custom exempt cannot be used as ingredients in inspected and passed product. USDA inspected products may not include meat from amenable species unless it bears the USDA mark of inspection (circle brand) (9 CFR 318.1(a), 381.145(a)). Products produced under custom exemption cannot be used as ingredients in USDA inspected items. Q.
