Does the USDA still grant temporaries for labels that don declare mechanically separated species?
No. However, exceptions are made for labels printed between the date the regulation came out (November 3, 1995) and the date it became effective (November 4, 1996), or for labels printed earlier than November 6, 1996; in such cases, you must provide an inventory of your label stock and proof of the printing date (printer’s invoice) when submitting your application.
