When used as ingredients in meat or poultry products, do the ingredients of non-standardized FDA-foods and ingredients have to be listed?
Yes. FDA has always required the ingredients in non-standardized FDA-foods, e.g., egg products and Ricotta cheese, to be listed when used as ingredients in other foods. In the past, FSIS has allowed limited exceptions to the rule, however, after August 8, 1995, all meat and poultry products containing FDA components as ingredients must list all ingredients in those components.
