Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Notices think that consumers will assume other unlabeled components, such as soy sauce or pasta, do not contain allergens.
Both the outer kit label and the meat or poultry component must be fully labeled in compliance with FSIS
labeling regulations. Therefore, the outer kit label will bear a complete ingredients statement that declares all ingredients in each component within the kit. These labeling requirements were already explained in the previous version of the guideline; therefore, FSIS
did not make any changes in response to this comment.
Comment: One individual asked FSIS
to explain how the nutrition facts declaration should be displayed on a kit.
Response: A kit label bearing nutrition facts may present this information 1. centrally, based on the prepared, assembled product; 2. with separate panels for each component as packaged; or 3. as one panel with multiple columns for each component as packaged. The nutrition labeling requirements of 9 CFR 317.309 and 381.409 remain unchanged by this guideline. FSIS did not make any changes to the guideline based on this comment. Based on FSIS
communications with these facilities, they understand nutrition labeling requirements.

Labeling Verification Comment: One firm that prepares kits stated that the Agency should provide clear communication to FSIS inspectors to ensure the consistent application of kit labeling policies.
Response: FSIS will issue a directive to provide instructions to inspection program personal for conducting verification activities for kit products to ensure compliance with FSIS
regulations.
Mandatory and Voluntary FSIS
Inspection Comment: An FSIS employee requested that FSIS clarify whether a kit may be assembled under voluntary FSIS
inspection and, therefore, bear a USDA
inspection legend.
Response: FSIS clarified in the guideline that the assembly of a kit product as described in this guideline is eligible for voluntary inspection as a food inspection service under 9 CFR
350.3c. FSIS also announced that, going forward, it will no longer conduct mandatory inspection services for such kits, as the Agency determined that providing inspection for these products as a voluntary food inspection service is the best use of Agency resources. After publication of this notice, FSIS will
