When used as ingredients in meat or poultry products, do the common or usual names of ingredients of standardized FDA-foods and ingredients have to be listed?
Yes. According to FDA rules (21 CFR 130.11), the ingredients of standardized foods must be (1) declared parenthetically following the name of the standardized ingredient (i.e., “component” labeling), e.g., “cheddar cheese (milk, enzymes, salt)” or (2) declared by dispersing each ingredient in its order of predominance in the ingredients statement of the product in which it is used without naming the standardized food specifically (i.e., “composite” labeling).
