FSIS announces recall due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.

National Chicken Council Vice President of Communications Tom Super says labeling plant-based proteins as “chicken” is misbranding and is in violation of federal food labeling guidance. The following is a Q&A with Super.

So far this year, there have already been 33 recalls of FSIS-regulated products because they were misbranded or contained undeclared allergens.

In recent meetings with industry leaders, Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) officials announced several new labeling initiatives.
