Where should the nutrition information be placed on the label?

Can a pressure sensitive sticker that includes the necessary terms be used to update labels?

PHIS FSIS Authority to Access Establishment Records

What does FSIS consider to be the surface area available to bear labeling?

Does the statement of limited use that a food preparation establishment adds to labeling in lieu of cooking instructions need to be on the principal display panel?

What is the status of a product that has always used a label that is too small to accommodate a nutrition label, i.e., a 2" X 2" tag attached to a stick of dry sausage which may weigh anywhere from 0.75 to 10 pounds?

Can nutrition labeling be included on a multi-layer label or as a foldout or pamphlet attached to the primary label for products under the mandatory program?
