§ 1.229. Marking of sausages and similar products.
(a) Inspected and passed sausages and other products in casings or in link form of the ordinary ‘‘ring’’ variety or larger shall be marked with the official inspection legend and list of ingredients. The official marks shall be branded near each end of the product when it is of a size larger than that customarily sold at retail intact.
(b) Inspected and passed sausages and other products in casings or in link form of the smaller varieties shall bear one or more official inspection legends and one or more lists of ingredients on each two pounds of product, except where such products leave the official establishment completely enclosed in properly labeled immediate containers having a capacity of 10 pounds or less and containing a single kind of product. Such products in properly labeled closed containers with more than 10-pound capacities, when shipped to another official establishment for further processing or to a governmental agency, need only have the official inspection legend and list of ingredients shown twice throughout the contents of the container. When such products are shipped to another official establishment for further processing the veterinary supervisor at the point of origin shall identify the shipment to the veterinary supervisor at destination.
(c) The list of ingredients may be applied by stamping, printing, using paper bands, tags or tissue strips, or other means approved by the Department.
