U.S. Removes Federal Recipe Standard for Canned “Tripe With Milk”
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This rule removes the federal recipe standard for canned “Tripe with Milk.” Producers will no longer have to meet the old formula requiring the finished canned product to contain at least 65% tripe and at least 10% milk. Meat processors may keep making the product the same way, but they can also adjust ingredient ratios or add other ingredients. Labels still must be truthful and not misleading, so compliance teams should review product names, ingredient statements, and marketing claims before changing formulas. The rule takes effect on June 3, 2026.
